When the arguments to test_must_fail() begin with a variable assignment,
test_must_fail() attempts to execute the variable assignment as a command.
This fails, and so test_must_fail returns with a successful status value
without running the command it was intended to test.
For example, the following script:
#!/bin/sh
test_must_fail () {
"$@"
test $? -gt 0 -a $? -le 129
}
foo='wo adrian'
test_must_fail foo='yo adrian' sh -c 'echo foo: $foo'
always exits zero and prints the message:
test.sh: line 3: foo=yo adrian: command not found
Test 16 calls test_must_fail in such a way and therefore has not been
testing whether git 'do[es] not fire editor in the presence of conflicts'.
Fix this by reverting to the traditional negation operator '!' and accept
the caveat that segfault will not be detected.
