[v2,1/4] t4014: clean up style

Commit Message

Denton Liu Aug. 19, 2019, 11:52 p.m. UTC 
In Git's tests, there is typically no space between the redirection
operator and the filename. Remove these spaces.

Since output is silenced when running without `-v` and debugging
output is useful with `-v`, remove redirections to /dev/null.

Change here-docs from `<<\EOF` to `<<-\EOF` so that they can be indented
along with the rest of the test case.

Convert all instances of `cnt=$(... | wc -l) && test $cnt = N` into
uses of `test_line_count()`.

For style, move the ending sq of test cases onto its own line whenever
they do not conform.

Rename output files from "expected" to "expect" to conform with the
usual convention.

Finally, refactor to remove Git commands upstream of pipe as well as Git
commands that are in a non-variable-assignment subshell (e.g. `echo
"base-commit: $(git rev-parse HEAD)"`. This way, if an invocation of a
Git command fails, the return code won't be lost. Keep upstream non-Git
commands since we have to assume a base level of sanity.

This patch is getting a little unwieldy. Perhaps we could split it into
several smaller patches? Unfortunately, I'm not really sure where a
logical place to split it would be.

The bullet points in the commit message, each of which is a distinct
change, give a strong hint as to how the commit could be split into
smaller pieces. It would make repeated review easier (though I'm not
sure it's worth re-rolling just for that).

Here you've removed the blank line following the body before the
closing quote, which brings the formatting more in line with current
style, however, you could do the same with the blank line before the
body. Ditto for other tests.

Another style fix would be to change the double quotes in the test
title to single quotes (here and in other tests).

If you do break this patch into smaller pieces, this might deserve its
own patch (or not) because it requires a bit of extra reasoning by the
reviewer.

Windows folks are not going to like you for this change since process
creation is so expensive on that platform, and the point of setting
that variable globally was to avoid repeated invocation (especially
since the output of "git --version" won't change). This function
appears to be invoked only three times presently, but that number
could increase in the future as new tests are added. Consequently, it
might be best to drop this change.
