The commit 40ce4160 "format-patch: allow --range-diff to apply to
a lone-patch" added the ability to see a range-diff as commentary
after the commit message of a single patch series (i.e. [PATCH]
instead of [PATCH X/N]). However, this functionality was not
covered by a test case.

Add a simple test case that checks that a range-diff is written as
commentary to the patch.

Isn't "grep -A" GNUism?

This is an interesting use of range-diff, as it basically tells us
"Range-diff: This is a new patch", but it works to make sure
there is a range diff section. (I shortly wondered if we would
ever omit the range diff for "obvious" cases or word it differently)

> +       grep -A 1 -e "\-\-\-" actual | grep "Range-diff:"

So the first grep finds the three dashes, presumably those
after the commit message/ but others as well, e.g. in
    --- a/<path>
    +++ b/<path>
and then the second grep should find the string "Range-diff".
By having the greps chained with a pipe, only one return
code can be delivered to the test suite, and as we get the last
commands return code, we get reported if we found the string
in the preselected part.

I was wondering if we could get away with just one command to
check for that multi line pattern

    sed -n -e '/---/,/^Range/p' actual

seems to detect that pattern, and prints from there on to the
rest of the file.

Sorry for short-write(2) X-<.

Perhaps

	sed -ne "/^---$/,+1/s/^Range-diff:/&/p"

or something along that line.

Aside from Junio's and Stefan's comments...

Patch 6/14 [1], in addition to checking that a solo patch contains an
interdiff, takes the extra step of checking that individual patches
_don't_ contain an interdiff when --cover-letter is used. I wonder if
the same should be done here, though I don't feel too strongly about
it. If you do go that route, it might make sense to move this test to
t4014 as neighbor to the --interdiff tests. The reason 10/14 [2] added
the "git format-patch --range-diff" test to t3206 instead of t4014 was
so it could do a thorough check of the embedded range-diff by re-using
the specially crafted test repo set up by t3206. Your new test is much
looser, thus could be moved alongside the --interdiff tests. Not a big
deal, though. Either way is fine. Thanks for working on this.

Thanks for these links! In particular, [2] uses this line to test the 
inter-diff appears:

+    test_i18ngrep "^Interdiff:$" 0001-fleep.patch &&

That's a better way to test, especially with the translation. It would 
be enough for my needs.

Thanks,
