Your subject is getting a little long, however. Typical guidance would be somewhere around 50 (at least in my opinion, I thought we had something in Documentation/CodingGuidelines, but I couldn't find anything). Maybe something instead like: t0000: replace 'test -f' with helpers or: t0000: modernize test style If you're looking for inspiration, you can use `git log`'s `-S` flag to look for anything that mentions 'test_path_is_file' to see how similar patches have been written in the past. (When I was recommending alternatives, I ran "git log --oneline -Stest_path_is_file -- t"). > Signed-off-by: Caleb Tillman <caleb.tillman@xxxxxxxxx> > --- Outrachy Microproject, revised submission I think that you meant to put this "Outrachy ..." _below_ the triple-dash line. Incidentally, Git still applies this patch just fine, but it is easier for reviewers to pick it up if the "---" line is left alone. > t/t0000-basic.sh | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/t/t0000-basic.sh b/t/t0000-basic.sh > index 923281af93..eb99892a87 100755 > --- a/t/t0000-basic.sh > +++ b/t/t0000-basic.sh > @@ -1191,7 +1191,7 @@ test_expect_success 'writing this tree with --missing-ok' ' > test_expect_success 'git read-tree followed by write-tree should be idempotent' ' > rm -f .git/index && > git read-tree $tree && > - test -f .git/index && > + test_path_is_file .git/index && This looks totally correct to me.
