This is wrong: It does not test the exist status. In a pipeline, the shell looks only at the exit status of the last command. You really want this as test_must_fail git fsck >out 2>&1 && If you want to have it more verbose, add 'cat out &&'. But IMHO that is overengineered. If the test detects a regression in the future, it is easy to inspect the file out if necessary. -- Hannes -- 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
