Junio / SZEDER / Johannes: Yeah I agree that that 12/12 sucked in its
current form.
Having eyeballed test-lib.sh and test-lib-functions.sh as part of this
though there seems to be a pretty obvious way to split this up which I
think would increase the readability:
* test-lib.sh: main entry, reading/setting global vars/state,
command-line parsing (and other CLI / Makefile interface), loading
test-lib-functions.sh, set global prereqs, actual setup for the test
about to be run.
* test-lib-functions.sh: the top-level "library" used everywhere,
i.e. test_expect_success/test_expect_failure etc, Hopefully we could
move the internal functions like test_ok_, test_failure_ etc. from
test-lib.sh to test-lib-functions.sh (they need some global variables
in test-lib.sh now).
Also things part of core test "flow" like test_config,
test_when_finished, nongit etc.
* lib-common.sh: what I was trying to start with in this 12/12,
i.e. utility functions common enough that we want them
"everywhere". We'd just have test-lib-functions.sh load this.
That seems like a much more obvious split & organization to me than the
mis-match with a bit of everything everyhere we have right now.
