But more importantly, "In case of empty tokens, add a ''" in this comment has zero information contents---you can read that from the code. Why we do that is what we cannot express in the code, and deserves a comment. /* avoid losing a zero-length string by giving nothing */ or something like that, perhaps? >> + if (!*src) { >> + strbuf_addstr(dst, "''"); >> + return; >> + } >> + >> for (p = src; *p; p++) { >> if (!isalpha(*p) && !isdigit(*p) && !strchr(ok_punct, *p)) { >> sq_quote_buf(dst, src); >> diff --git a/t/t0014-alias.sh b/t/t0014-alias.sh >> index a070e645d7..9c176c7cbb 100755 >> --- a/t/t0014-alias.sh >> +++ b/t/t0014-alias.sh >> @@ -37,4 +37,12 @@ test_expect_success 'looping aliases - internal execution' ' >> # test_i18ngrep "^fatal: alias loop detected: expansion of" output >> #' >> >> +test_expect_success 'run-command parses empty args properly, using sq_quote_buf_pretty' ' >> + cat >expect <<-EOF && >> + fatal: cannot change to '\''alias.foo=frotz foo '\'''\'' bar'\'': No such file or directory >> + EOF >> + test_expect_code 128 git -C "alias.foo=frotz foo '\'''\'' bar" foo 2>actual && >> + test_cmp expect actual >> +' I think it was my mistake, but we do not ahe to use "alias" for something like this, perhaps like: # 'git frotz' will fail with "no such command", but we are # not interested in its exit status.
