In the patch below I've just deleted them, but I think since they are really about the reading side, they'd probably want a similar manual setup. diff --git a/t/t7201-co.sh b/t/t7201-co.sh index 2d984eb4c6..72eb5f62e7 100755 --- a/t/t7201-co.sh +++ b/t/t7201-co.sh @@ -407,18 +407,6 @@ test_expect_success 'checkout w/--track from tag fails' ' test "z$(git rev-parse main^0)" = "z$(git rev-parse HEAD)" ' -test_expect_success 'detach a symbolic link HEAD' ' - git checkout main && - git config --bool core.prefersymlinkrefs yes && - git checkout side && - git checkout main && - it=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD) && - test "z$it" = zrefs/heads/main && - here=$(git rev-parse --verify refs/heads/main) && - git checkout side^ && - test "z$(git rev-parse --verify refs/heads/main)" = "z$here" -' - test_expect_success 'checkout with --track fakes a sensible -b <name>' ' git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" && git update-ref refs/remotes/origin/koala/bear renamer && diff --git a/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh b/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh index 95e9955bca..b4d7206bea 100755 --- a/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh +++ b/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh @@ -50,15 +50,6 @@ test_expect_success 'prompt - branch name' ' test_cmp expected "$actual" ' -test_expect_success SYMLINKS 'prompt - branch name - symlink symref' ' - printf " (main)" >expected && - test_when_finished "git checkout main" && - test_config core.preferSymlinkRefs true && - git checkout main && - __git_ps1 >"$actual" && - test_cmp expected "$actual" -' - test_expect_success 'prompt - unborn branch' ' printf " (unborn)" >expected && git checkout --orphan unborn && I noticed these because I had a similar proposal long ago, which never got merged (I don't think because anybody particularly disagreed, but it fell through the cracks and never got picked up again): https://lore.kernel.org/git/20151230065343.GA26964@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ What you have here is (modulo the two hunks above) more complete than what I have, so I don't think there's anything else to try to salvage from it. A little bit of the history in the linked commit message is interesting as to how we ended up here, but ultimately not really that important. -Peff
