"test -f" is designed to be silent, while the helper function is designed to be verbose to help debugging the tests, but the accuracy of the latter simply rests on the former.

Subject: [PATCH] t1050: use test_path_is_file instead of "test -f" Use test_path_is_file instead of "test -f"; this will help when running the test with the "-v" option for debugging. > Signed-off-by: Rasmus Jonsson <wasmus@xxxxxx>
