No need to resend only to correct the above two, but if you are going to reroll to fix something else, please make sure fixing them. > +' > + > +test_expect_success 'diff-files with pathspec outside sparse definition' ' > + init_repos && > + > + write_script edit-contents <<-\EOF && > + echo text >>"$1" > + EOF > + > + # add file to the index but outside of cone > + run_on_sparse mkdir newdirectory && > + run_on_sparse ../edit-contents newdirectory/testfile && > + test_sparse_match git add --sparse newdirectory/testfile && > + > + # file present on-disk without modifications > + test_sparse_match git diff-files && > + test_must_be_empty sparse-checkout-out && > + test_must_be_empty sparse-index-out && As output from checkout and index are known to be identical (that is one of the things that test_sparse_match does), I do not think there is much point checking -out from both sides. If we know "diff-files" invocation above should never send anything to the standard error, then checking that sparse-checkout-err is empty may have value, though. > + test_sparse_match git diff-files newdirectory/testfile && > + test_must_be_empty sparse-checkout-out && > + test_must_be_empty sparse-index-out && Ditto. > + # file present on-disk with modifications > + run_on_sparse ../edit-contents newdirectory/testfile && > + test_sparse_match git diff-files && > + test_sparse_match git diff-files newdirectory/testfile We do not care what the actual output is in this case? > +' > + > test_done Thanks.
