There is $(git show -s --raw --pretty=format:%at HEAD) in this test that is meant to grab the author time of the commit. We used to have a bug in the command line option parser of the diff family of commands, where "show -s --raw" was identical to "show -s". With the "-s" bug fixed, "show -s --raw" would mean the same thing as "show --raw", i.e. show the output from the diff machinery in the "raw" format. And this test will start failing, so fix it before that happens. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> --- * It appears pretty obvious that the original wanted to just grab the %at timestamp of the HEAD, and with the fix to allow output format options to take effect after "-s" is given, the existing misuse of "--raw" after "-s" that ought to be a no-op breaks the test. https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/4897931294/jobs/8755228452#step:4:1847 is CI run with the "-s" fix merged into 'seen'. t/t9800-git-p4-basic.sh | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/t/t9800-git-p4-basic.sh b/t/t9800-git-p4-basic.sh index dc88d0e064..a4b3cb9492 100755 --- a/t/t9800-git-p4-basic.sh +++ b/t/t9800-git-p4-basic.sh @@ -330,7 +330,7 @@ test_expect_success 'initial import time from top change time' ' test_when_finished cleanup_git && ( cd "$git" && - gittime=$(git show -s --raw --pretty=format:%at HEAD) && + gittime=$(git show -s --pretty=format:%at HEAD) && echo $p4time $gittime && test $p4time = $gittime ) -- 2.40.1-476-g69c786637d
