The tests in t4131 leave a space character between the redirection operator
and the file i.e. the redirection target which does not conform to the
modern coding style.

Fix them.

I think something like,

The tests in t4131 were written a long time ago and hence contain style violations
such as an extra space between the redirection operator(>) and the redirection target.
Update it to match the latest CodingGuidelines.

may be better.

Also, when you deliver a newer version of the patch, i.e., version 2 in your case,
you have a [PATCH v2 1/n] as the subject, so that people know that it is the v2 and
hence avoid confusion.

If you are using 'git format-patch' to formulate your mails, you can do:

'git format-patch -v2 <..>' to get a v2 based mail.

Please see the comment made by Junio Hamano, pasted below:

"written a long time ago" does not have much value by itself (it
does serve as a backstory to explain a half of why it does not use
the more modern style, though).  "have a few style violations." is
almost meaningless (otherwise, you would not be doing a "modernize
style" patch in the first place ;-).

I myself also agree with the above comment and hence, wrote the commit message
accordingly. What do you think?

Oh nice, didn't know about this. I will keep this in mind for future
patch submissions.
Should I do this for the current patch as well?
