Makes sense. The code removes "test -f spoo", which is not explained in the above, and I do not think we want to. We'd notice a breakage where revert leaves the right result in HEAD but fails to match the working tree files if we leave it there. > In both tests, we would not notice when "git rev-parse" starts > segfaulting without emitting any output.

The conclusion is a bit iffy; it is not "we could", which implies that the current one is OK but it is OK to also rewrite it to use test_cmp_rev. Use the 'test_cmp_rev' helper to make sure we will notice such a breakage. or something like that, perhaps? > Signed-off-by: Labnann <khalid.masum.92@xxxxxxxxx> Is Labnann your name? I do not know where you are from so forgive me if it is. We prefer people to sign with their real names (cf. Documentation/SubmittingPatches[[real-name]]) on this line (and because the name/e-mail on this line must match the author's ident, the same preference applies there, too). > --- > t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh | 8 +++----- > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh b/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh > index 8617efaaf1..ad8f0cae5a 100755 > --- a/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh > +++ b/t/t3501-revert-cherry-pick.sh > @@ -66,8 +66,7 @@ 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 -f opos && > + test_cmp_rev rename2 HEAD^ && > grep "Add extra line at the end" opos && > git reflog -1 | grep cherry-pick > > @@ -77,9 +76,8 @@ test_expect_success 'revert after renaming branch' ' > > git checkout rename1 && > git revert added && > - test $(git rev-parse HEAD^) = $(git rev-parse rename1) && > - test -f spoo && > - ! grep "Add extra line at the end" spoo && > + test_cmp_rev rename1 HEAD^ && > + test_cmp_rev initial:oops HEAD:spoo && > git reflog -1 | grep revert > > ' The diff looks almost perfect here (modulo that "test -f spoo" is better kept, I would think).
