But the part that didn't quite make it into the diff context is something like this: for p in ... if test -f ... then continue fi bad=t done && test -z "$bad" I think this could be written more clearly as: for p in ... test -f ... || return 1 done We explicitly run the test snippets in a shell function to allow this kind of early return. That's orthogonal to your patch, but it might be worth doing on top, or as a preparatory patch. But there's one more interesting bit. The loose-object loop from the next hunk does this: for l in ... test -f "$l" || continue bad=t done && test -z "$bad" In other words, it's checking the opposite case: the test fails if the file _does_ exist. And so it seems like using test_path_is_file would be the wrong thing there (it would complain noisily in the success case, and not at all in the failure case). I suspect this could be written more clearly by looking at the output of `git count-objects`, or perhaps just: { # ignore exit code; will fail when the glob matches nothing find objects/??/ -type f >loose-objects test_must_be_empty loose-objects } either of which would solve the "match a loose object with any length" problem that Junio brought up. -Peff
