Indeed, the file t/README contains a great deal of information about executing the tests. (The "prove" harness that is discussed is present in the Git sources, and the sample commands that involve "prove" can be executed in the test directory.) You can execute each test individually within the test directory via sh ./t1234... and get more information by adding the documented options: sh ./t1234... --verbose --debug --immediate Dale -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
