Adding more of them for a different test now requires updating this test as well.

OK. Can we use that, though? I.e. how about this? git ls-files >files && test_expect_code 1 grep "\\.ig" files It would print the unexpected lines in verbose mode like this: expecting success of 3700.12 '.gitignore is honored': git add . && git ls-files >files && echo foo.ig >files && # inject bogus value test_expect_code 1 grep "\\.ig" files foo.ig test_expect_code: command exited with 0, we wanted 1 grep \.ig files Or can we trust ls-files' own filtering? git ls-files "*.ig" >actual && test_must_be_empty actual Both variants are shorter and should be slightly faster, which can matter if we use that pattern more widely. (Didn't measure here, but from a recent foray into t3920 on Windows I took home that removing commands has a small, but measurable impact there: https://lore.kernel.org/git/203cb627-2423-8a35-d280-9f9ffc66e072@xxxxxx/T/#u) > > test_expect_success 'error out when attempting to add ignored ones without -f' ' > test_must_fail git add a.?? && > - !
