Yeah, that makes sense. > t4202 has many invocations of "log --oneline --decorate", though; > these things do get tested. I think it is just trying to compare the "log.decorate" variable to the "--decorate" command-line option. Notice that it generates the expected output by running the latter. So I think it would be OK (and if not, I think it would make sense to update the test, as it does not care about the specific format). Google Code Search doesn't show anything interesting, though I suppose its results are getting continually out of date (they claim to have shut it down, though you can still query it if you use the right URL). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
