Capitalize the first word as usual. Also, the leak check should not be the primary reason to do this change. We do not want to miss "git rev-parse" used in these tests starts to fail, regardless of why they fail. Perhaps like this instead? Otherwise, we would not notice when "git rev-parse" starts segfaulting without emitting any output. The 'test' command would end up being just "test =", which yields success. > +test_cmp_rev_parse () { > + git rev-parse $1 >expect && > + git rev-parse $2 >actual && > + test_cmp expect actual > +} To me, it looks like we can just use test_cmp_rev that already exists, but am I missing some subtlety? If not (then we need to explain why in the proposed commit log message), at least we should place $1 and $2 inside a pair of double-quotes. For the current callers, what they pass happen not to need such quoting, but once we write a helper function, we are helping _future_ callers as well, and we should be reasonably prepared for them. > test_expect_success 'cherry-pick --nonsense' ' > > pos=$(git rev-parse HEAD) && > @@ -66,7 +72,7 @@ test_expect_success 'cherry-pick after renaming branch' ' > > git checkout rename2 && > git cherry-pick added && > - test $(git rev-parse HEAD^) = $(git rev-parse rename2) && > + test_cmp_rev_parse HEAD^ rename2 && OK. > test_path_is_file opos && > grep "Add extra line at the end" opos && > git reflog -1 | grep cherry-pick > @@ -77,7 +83,7 @@ test_expect_success 'revert after renaming branch' ' > > git checkout rename1 && > git revert added && > - test $(git rev-parse HEAD^) = $(git rev-parse rename1) && > + test_cmp_rev_parse HEAD^ rename1 && OK. > test_path_is_file spoo && > ! grep "Add extra line at the end" spoo && > git reflog -1 | grep revert Thanks.
