Subject: [PATCH v6 1/3] t4001: modernize
Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2026 16:21:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260922202152.842793-2-markchucarroll@fastmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260922202152.842793-1-markchucarroll@fastmail.com>

    Old tests were written in a different style than modern
    ones; for better readability and test error messages,
    update t4001 to the modern style.

    * run everything inside of a test_expect_success block.
    * write title line on the same line as test_expect_success,
      end that line with a single quote that opens the body of the test,
      and end the test with a single quote that closes the body.
    * write expected output of a test to a file named "expect",
      and actual output to a file named "actual".
    * write here-docs using "<<-" syntax, so that they're indented
      uniformly with the rest of the test.
    * make test names more clearly reflect the functionality that
      they test.
