This goes for all introduced `update-ref` calls. Maybe even for some `git rev-parse --verify` calls. > diff --git a/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh b/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh > index 8f5c811dd7..c3b89ae783 100755 > --- a/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh > +++ b/t/t9903-bash-prompt.sh > @@ -148,7 +148,7 @@ test_expect_success 'prompt - inside .git directory' ' > test_expect_success 'prompt - deep inside .git directory' ' > printf " (GIT_DIR!)" >expected && > ( > - cd .git/refs/heads && > + cd .git/objects && > __git_ps1 >"$actual" > ) && > test_cmp expected "$actual" > -- This one looks wrong. Upon cursory review, one might be tempted to assume that the file is now written into .git/objects/ instead of .git/refs/heads/. And the patch context provided in the email is not enough to see (gawd, I hate mail-based patch review, it really takes all my Git tools away from me). The trick is that `actual` points at an absolute path: #!/bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 2012 SZEDER Gábor # test_description='test git-specific bash prompt functions' . ./lib-bash.sh . "$GIT_BUILD_DIR/contrib/completion/git-prompt.sh" actual="$TRASH_DIRECTORY/actual" [...] So the remaining question (which probably wants to be added to the commit message together with a hint that `actual` points at an absolute path) is: Why not `cd .git` instead? Ciao, Dscho
