I should have added a comment for that, I can't find any portable (but suggestions welcome) way to do that and preserve the indentation, so the test_cmp would still succeed if the moving/renaming function munged all leading whitespace in the config with -\EOF as opposed to \EOF. >> + cat config.branch >>.git/config && >> + git branch -m source dest && >> + git config -f .git/config -l | grep -F -e source -e dest -e some.gar >> >actual && >> + test_cmp expect actual && >> + >> + # ...and that the comments for those sections are also >> + # preserved. >> + cat config.branch | sed "s/\"source\"/\"dest\"/" >expect && >> + grep -A 9001 "Comment for source" .git/config >actual && > > Where does 9001 come from?

It's just a sufficiently large number, I thought -A was portable enough after grepping the test suite, but on closer inspection it turns out those were all git-grep invocations, oops. Yeah all I need here is all lines after a line matching a given string, so that sed command works, will fix it up to use that. >> + test_cmp expect actual >> +' >> + >> test_expect_success 'deleting a symref' ' >> git branch target && >> git symbolic-ref refs/heads/symref refs/heads/target && >> >> -- >> https://github.com/git/git/pull/363
