This does not exactly look like a "refactoring". There are at least two differences and it is the courteous thing to do to readers to note them and explain why these differences do not impact the correctness of the tests, I would say. * The original uses a dedicated branch, while the rewritten uses a dedicated repository for these tests. This does not impact the correctness as long as all the tests that originally used the branch are made to run in this new repository with "git -C". * The youngest change removes the binary sample file, while the rewritten only truncates it. This does not impact the correctness, because a removed file and a file whose lines are all removed behave in the same way with respect to -G/-S. Both will reduce the number of occurrence of -S<needle>, and make "removal" (-) lines of -G<needle> appear in the patch. > test_expect_success 'setup log -[GS] binary & --text' ' > - git checkout --orphan GS-binary-and-text && > - git read-tree --empty && > - printf "a\na\0a\n" >data.bin && > - git add data.bin && > - git commit -m "create binary file" data.bin && > - printf "a\na\0a\n" >>data.bin && > - git commit -m "modify binary file" data.bin && > - git rm data.bin && > - git commit -m "delete binary file" data.bin && > - git log >full-log > + test_create_repo GS-bin-txt && > + test_commit -C GS-bin-txt --append --printf A data.bin "a\na\0a\n" && The --append on the first one does not make any difference ;-) > + test_commit -C GS-bin-txt --append --printf B data.bin "a\na\0a\n" && > + test_commit -C GS-bin-txt C data.bin "" && The original removes the file at the end, while this merely truncates it. > + git -C GS-bin-txt log >full-log > '
