Meh. That's only true for the place-holder code as present on the 'multi-wc-format' branch, where the code reports multiple formats are supported but there are no actual differences between the formats. Any non-trivial feature (such as pristines-on-demand) that works with multiple WC formats will have code paths that access database tables differently depending on the format. I ran into this as soon as I tested 'pristines-on-demand' merged with 'multi-wc-format'. Those code paths need to be tested against both (or multiple) formats. Therefore it IS necessary at least to add a parameter to the test suite framework to specify the WC format that all the tests will use. That should be done as part of this branch. The test suite already has... --server-minor-version=SERVER_MINOR_VERSION --fsfs-version=FSFS_VERSION I will copy that pattern. - Julian
