I still have fixing this test up on my do-to list. My previous
attempt[1] had some flaws
in addition to some objection to the approach I took to expand each test. Eric
Sunshine suggested using a table approach, but I am not sure if that can be done
cleanly.
I figured that a fix to the rev-parse code would supersede test
cleanup, so I separated
my efforts.
I originally copied the pattern from above this code:
> +#cleanup from the above
> +cd ..
> +rm -r work
> +mv repo.git .git || exit 1
but Gábor had an objection to it [2]. So I went with this simple cleanup test.
I could move it back to outside of a test, and do some checks around
it. Something
like:
dir=$(pwd)
target=${dir##*/}
if [ "$target" == "work" ]
then
cd ..
rm -r "work"
fi

My goal was to have the test be in the state exactly as it was at the
beginning of
the test. Right above my cleanup test this line is executed:
> git config --unset core.bare
I just wanted to be absolutely sure that the value was the same. I
could certainly
simplify it to assume core.bare is "true" though.
