use 'test_must_fail git cmd'. This will signal a failure if git
dies in an unexpected way (e.g. segfault).
+ On the other hand, don't use test_must_fail for running regular
+ platform commands; just use '! cmd'.
+
- use perl without spelling it as "$PERL_PATH". This is to help our
friends on Windows where the platform Perl often adds CR before
the end of line, and they bundle Git with a version of Perl that
test_cmp expected actual
'
+ - test_ln_s_add <path1> <path2>
+
+ This function helps systems whose filesystem does not support symbolic
+ links. Use it to add a symbolic link entry to the index when it is not
+ important that the file system entry is a symbolic link, i.e., instead
+ of the sequence
+
+ ln -s foo bar &&
+ git add bar
+
+ Sometimes it is possible to split a test in a part that does not need
+ the symbolic link in the file system and a part that does; then only
+ the latter part need be protected by a SYMLINKS prerequisite (see below).
