Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] Update t/t4001-diff-rename.sh to modern style.
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 15:54:34 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260917195436.1102981-2-markchucarroll@fastmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260917195436.1102981-1-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.
