That's a better pattern. It's not technically _required_ for these tests because the repositories are completely rewritten at the start of each new test, but it's best to be a good example. > More importantly, why the subshell and unsetting of > GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM and the special worrying about pull.twohead? > Wouldn't it be simpler to just set GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM=ort, > perhaps at the beginning of the file? I don't set GIT_TEST_MERGE_ALGORITHM at the beginning of the file so the rest of the tests are covered with both 'ort' and 'recursive' in the CI test suite. Using the config more carefully matches how I expect the 'ort' strategy to be specified in practice (very temporarily, as it will soon be the default). Thanks, -Stolee
