Obviously trivial, but I wonder if > the rest of the coverage would look different when passed through the various > GIT_TEST_* options. I wonder if we can do better for this kind of thing. When I do routine development, I am not running tests with any non-default flags. So why should tests run with non-default flags count toward coverage? Is there a way to make the default test settings dip their feet into some non-default configurations, without running the full battery of tests and slowing tests down accordingly? E.g. is there some kind of smoke test that rebase with useBuiltin=false works at all that could run, even if I am not running the full battery of rebase tests? That's a bit of a non sequitor for this example, which is actual code to handle GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN, though. For it, I wonder why we need rebase.c to understand the envvar --- couldn't test-lib.sh take care of setting rebase.useBuiltin to false when it's set? Thanks, Jonathan
