In the test scripts, the recommended style is, e.g.:

    test_expect_success 'name' '
        do-something somehow &&
        do-some-more testing
    '

When using this style, any single quote in the multi-line test section
is actually closing the lone single quotes that surround it.

It can be a non-issue in practice:

    test_expect_success 'sed a little' '
        sed -e 's/hi/lo/' in >out # "ok": no whitespace in s/hi/lo/
    '

Or it can be a bug in the test, e.g., because variable interpolation
happens before the test even begins executing:

    v=abc

    test_expect_success 'variable interpolation' '
        v=def &&
        echo '"$v"' # abc
    '

Change several such in-test single quotes to use double quotes instead
or, in a few cases, drop them altogether. These were identified using
some crude grepping. We're not fixing any test bugs here, but we're
hopefully making these tests slightly easier to grok and to maintain.

There are legitimate use cases for closing a quote and opening a new
one, e.g., both '\'' and '"'"' can be used to produce a literal single
quote. I'm not touching any of those here.

In t9401, tuck the redirecting ">" to the filename while we're touching
those lines.

This one is a bit weird. It really seems as if the intent was to quote
the word "fifth" in the merge message, so dropping the quotes
altogether seems wrong. However, the file 'msg' is never even
consulted in this test (or any other test), so is this just "dead
code" (including the leading 'fifth=' assignment which also is
otherwise unused outside the 'echo')?

There are a fair number of these quoted single-token arguments
containing no special characters which don't actually need to be
quoted at all, so an alternative would be simply to drop the quotes
altogether, making the commands less syntactically noisy. However,
that might be outside the intended scope of this change.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for having a look.

Huh, good catch. The tests showed up in v2 of the patch [1] and there's
not enough context in the archives to tell whether something was partly
removed from an earlier "v1.5" or partly added but not all the way.

We expect to fail the merge -- and we do, and not because of this msg
thing -- and then we look around a little, but we don't resolve the
merge and make a commit. And from what I can tell, there wouldn't be
much point in making a commit. So I should be able to safely drop this
"dead code" entirely.

FWIW, I find something like `git foo -m "message"` a lot more
intuitive/reasonable than, e.g., `git foo "HEAD"` to signal that here's
a message that could in principle have whitespace, even if this one
doesn't. For all of these, I tried to follow the surrounding style. For
example in t9401, where we do `echo "hi"`. We certainly don't need the
quotes there, but t9401 is very consistent on this and I didn't want to
muddy that unnecessarily.

If we say that "don't use quotes if you don't need to" is a reasonable
thing to strive for, I can drop these in a reroll. I think I'll be
injecting a patch anyway for the "msg" you pointed out in t4200, so I
can certainly tweak this patch to be a bit more aggressive in dropping
unnecessary quotes.

Thanks
Martin

That could be done atop this series if there is no other reason to
re-roll.

No need. Matching the local convention makes sense, and I don't insist
upon such a change at all. Mine was a non-actionable observation, and
it's entirely subjective anyhow.

I don't feel strongly about whether the series should be re-rolled.
It's true that dropping that dead code (mentioned above) would make more
sense coming before the patch which fixes up the quoting, but it
wouldn't bother me if the dead-code removal was done as a follow-on
patch.

Yeah, I agree that a preparatory clean-up followed by the main
change would logically make more sense, but if it is swapped it is
not the end of the world ;-)

Thanks, both.
