It turns out that not quoting $2 is deliberate (i.e. it wants to pass more than one words in $2, have them split at $IFS and show each of them on a separate line), at the same time not quoting $DIR is simply sloppy. And it is totally unnecessary to confuse readers like this. Unless you plan to extend this helper further, I think this would be much less burdensome to the readers: check_files () { list_files "$1" >actual && shift && printf "%s\n" "$@" >expect && test_cmp expect actual } This ... > test_cmp expect repo/.git/info/sparse-checkout && > - list_files repo >dir && > - cat >expect <<-EOF && > - a > - folder1 > - folder2 > - EOF > - test_cmp expect dir > + check_files repo "a folder1 folder2" ... is a kind of change that the log message advertises, which is a very nice rewrite. And ... > test_expect_success 'clone --sparse' ' > git clone --sparse repo clone && > git -C clone sparse-checkout list >actual && > - cat >expect <<-EOF && > - /* > - !/*/ > + cat >expect <<-\EOF && > + /* > + !/*/ > EOF ... this is a style-fix that is another nice rewrite but in a different category. I wonder if they should be done in separate commits. Other than that, makes sense. Thanks.
