Now with this patch, we clean branch.d.dummy because we use test_config, but branch.e.dummy that was copied by successful "git branch -c" will still be left. - It is unforunate that it is impossible to verify that the change in behaviour for branch.d.dummy is correct. Without checking all the remainder of the test (and no, grepping for branch.d.dummy is not "checking all the remainder"---a later "branch -c d x" would have created brnach.x.dummy in the original, but with this patch, it would not), which is time consuming, that is. I trust you made sure that branch.d.dummy is never used after this test is done---it would have been good to explain it either in the proposed log message or after three-dash that you did check and how to save reviewer bandwidth. - Are you deliberatly leaving branch.e.dummy uncleaned, or is it a mere oversight? > test_expect_success 'git branch --copy is a synonym for -c' ' > git branch --create-reflog copy && > git reflog exists refs/heads/copy && > - git config branch.copy.dummy Hello && > + test_config branch.copy.dummy Hello && > git branch --copy copy copy-to && > git reflog exists refs/heads/copy && > git reflog exists refs/heads/copy-to && > - echo Hello >expect && > - git config branch.copy.dummy >actual && > - test_cmp expect actual && > - echo Hello >expect && > - git config branch.copy-to.dummy >actual && > - test_cmp expect actual > + test_cmp_config Hello branch.copy.dummy && > + test_cmp_config Hello branch.copy-to.dummy > ' The same comment for branch.copy.dummy and branch.copy-to.dummy applies. I'll stop here for now. Thanks for starting this clean-up.
