If you prefer to be modern, "if ! test frotz; then xyzzy; fi". I'd prefer the former, but in either case I really do not want to see [ ... ] that do not make anything more readable. Also we tend to avoid "test -e" unless absolutely needed. > @@ -321,8 +322,8 @@ test_done () { > > # Test the binaries we have just built.

I have bunch of gits installed under $HOME/git-vX.Y.Z/bin and when I need to test one from a different vintage, I just say: PATH=$HOME/git-vX.Y.Z/bin:/usr/bin:/bin ... do git stuff which all use version X.Y.Z and have $HOME/git-vX.Y.Z/bin/git find its corresponding friends on the GIT_EXEC_PATH embedded in it. Because you are interested in testing installed versions, I suspect something like: if test -z "$TEST_GIT_ON_PATH" then GIT_EXEC_PATH=$(pwd)/.. PATH=$GIT_EXEC_PATH:$PATH else : We do not do any customization fi would be easier to read and more to the point. Perhaps the tester even has his own GIT_EXEC_PATH that is unrelated to TEST_GIT_PATH. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
