Why not give mk_test an optional parameter?
repo_name=${1:-testrepo}
Oh, it is because mk_test already takes arguments naming refs to push.
I suppose the change description could make this clearer.
Why not use mk_test and then rename, like so?
mk_test ...refs... &&
mv testrepo testrepo-a &&
mk_test ...refs... &&
mv testrepo testrepo-b &&
...
I dunno. The helper functions at the top of this test are already
intimidating, so I guess I am looking for a way to avoid making that
problem worse. One way would be to add an opening comment before
the function definition explaining how it is meant to be used. See
t/test-lib-functions.sh for examples, such as test_cmp.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan
