That was not what I meant.  The exit status being non-zero is what
we primarily care about.  The exact phrasing of the error message is
much less important and in general we shouldn't enforce "the error
message must remain so" in the test.

If you observe the error message from this test, e.g. by running it
with "-v", I suspect that you would see the message would complain
about "@{-1}".

I just wanted to make sure that you saw it and thought about its
ramifications.

It is perfectly fine by me (others might disagree, though) if your
conclusion after thinking about it is "Even though the user may be
surprised to get complaints for "@{-1}" that she never gave to the
command (she gave "-"), because we clearly document that "-" is a
mere synonym/short-hand for @{-1}, it is OK".  I still want to see
that behaviour justified in the proposed commit log message.

And that is why I said it "might be interesting".

You trimmed my message a bit too aggressively while composing your
response, and I think that is what ended up confusing you.  

Here is what I wrote:

| > +   cd short-hand &&
| > +   test $(git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD) = "refs/heads/newbranch"
| 
| Broken &&-chain.
| 
| > +   branch=$(cd short-hand && git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD) &&
| > +   test "$branch" = refs/heads/newbranch &&
| > +   cd ..
| 
| If any of the command between "cd short-hand" and "cd .." failed,
| ...

The problematic "cd short-hand" is the one a few lines above where
you started quoting, not the one you saw in the $().

Of course, that’s useful to be sure of the error, I will do in next preroll.

Yes, that’s a good idea. I take these lines.

Actually, $(...) implicitly does a subshell, so the "cd .." was just
useless.

Indeed, git -C is an even better way to say "cd .. && git ..."

You meant "can be specified", I think.  Fixing it would make the
line a bit too long, so fold it around the word "synonymous".

Just an observation, but the error message we would see here might
be interesting.

Broken &&-chain.

> + test "$branch" = refs/heads/newbranch &&
> + cd ..

If any of the command between "cd short-hand" and "cd .." failed,
after correcting the broken &&-chain, the next test will end up
running in short-hand directory, which it is not expecting.  A
canonical way to avoid this problem is to replace the above with:

...
git worktree add short-hand - &&
(
cd short-hand &&
...
test "$branch" = refs/heads/newbranch
)

In this particular case, alternatively, you could also do something
like this:

git worktree add short-hand - &&
echo refs/heads/newbranch >expect &&
git -C short-hand rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual

and it would be sufficient.

It is not immediately obvious to me why you have two copies of the
same test in your patch to see where HEAD points at.  If the reason
is because you suspect that "git -C $there" form may give subtly
different behaviour and wanted to test both, then you could do
something like this:

git worktree add short-hand - &&
echo refs/heads/newbranch >expect &&
git -C short-hand rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual &&
(cd short-hand && git rev-parse --symbolic-full-name HEAD) >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual

but I do not think that is necessary.  This test is not about "does
rev-parse --symbolic-full-name work correctly with 'git -C $there'?"

Thanks.

[PATCH] worktree: allow "-" short-hand for @{-1} in add command

[Jordan DE GEA]

From: Jordan DE GEA 

Since `git worktree add` uses `git checkout` when `[]` is used,
and `git checkout -` is already supported, it makes sense to allow the
same shortcut in `git worktree add`.
