I'm refactoring tree-walk.h to do that in a WIP series, and ran into this. As an aside, how does one run the merge-ort tests in such a way as they'll pass on master now? There's now a bunch of failures with GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort, well, just for t*merge*.sh: t6409-merge-subtree.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 12 Failed: 1) Failed test: 12 Non-zero exit status: 1 t6418-merge-text-auto.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 10 Failed: 3) Failed tests: 4-5, 10 Non-zero exit status: 1 t6437-submodule-merge.sh (Wstat: 0 Tests: 18 Failed: 0) TODO passed: 13, 17 t6423-merge-rename-directories.sh (Wstat: 256 Tests: 68 Failed: 4) Failed tests: 7, 53, 55, 59 Non-zero exit status: 1 And both test_expect_merge_algorithm and what seems to be a common pattern of e.g.: t6400-merge-df.sh: if test "$GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM" = ort t6400-merge-df.sh- then t6400-merge-df.sh- test 0 -eq $(git ls-files -o | wc -l) t6400-merge-df.sh- else t6400-merge-df.sh- test 1 -eq $(git ls-files -o | wc -l) t6400-merge-df.sh- fi && Will not run tests on both backends, I was expecting to find something so we can the test N times for the backends, and declared if things were to be skipped on ort or whatever. I understand that this is still WIP code, but it would be nice to have it in a state where one can confidently touch merge-ort.c when changing some API or whatever and have it be tested by default. Or maybe that's the case, and I've missed how it's happening...
