Seems the latter is expected to fail (and it did in 2.7 already), so just
looking into the former (which did not happen in 2.7).
Looking into tests/create-delete.log shows:
...
* patch -p1 -b < p.diff || echo status: $?
FAILED
expected:
patching file target
File target is not empty after patch; not deleting
status: 1
got:
The next patch would empty out the file target,
which is already empty! Assume -R? [n]
Apply anyway? [n]
Skipping patch.
* test -e target
ok
* test -e target.orig
FAILED
...
These tests seem to have been added/changed between 2.7 and 2.7.1
I'm not sure where and how to fix it?
