Subject: [PATCH/RFC 4/6] t6600: add test cases for side-exhaustion edge cases
Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2026 10:36:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <91372b975fbe102538c05c7d2cdae356539d1bbd.1781951820.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2149.git.1781951820.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>

Add test cases to t6600-test-reach.sh that exercise edge cases in the
side-exhaustion optimization for paint_down_to_common():

 - in_merge_bases_many:self: commit is both A and one of the X inputs
 - get_merge_bases_many:duplicate-twos: duplicate entries in X list
 - get_merge_bases_many:pending-stale: STALE transition on an
   already-painted commit (ps-* diamond topology)
 - get_merge_bases_many:infinity-both-sides: both tips outside the
   commit-graph with non-monotonic dates (pi-* topology)
