The string argument to dotest is a pattern, not a string. In '[checkout aborted]',
'[' and
']' are the character set operators, so expr is attempting to match any _single_
charater
which is in the set inside the [].
If you look at the other tests, you'll notice they usually use, "\[[a-z]* aborted\]".
Where
the '\'s escape the operatorness of '[' and ']' and [a-z]* is intended to match
"checkout" or
"server" in client/server mode (make remotecheck).
