I'm not sure--I thought we did, but yes, we should _test_ that we indeed 1) have/get $2, as a non-empty string, 2) it is a non-empty, readable file, 3) contains the test header we included in git-format-patch in the test. This is what I meant when I wrote "we'll always have $2 ...", not having it is failure of some kind and yes we should test for it. -- Regards, Luben
