Hmm, I didn't mean that one, and I do not offhand what is wrong
about "! grep" that says "output should not contain this string".
The problem is a "cat" you added outside test_expect_*; the recent
push is to have as little executable outside them, especially the
"set-up" code to prepare for the real tests.
i.e. we have been trying to write new tests (and convert old ones)
like this:
test_expect_success 'I test such and such ' '
cat >input-for-test <<-\EOF &&
here comes input
EOF
git command-to-be-tested <input-for-test >actual &&
cat >expected <<-\EOF &&
here comes expected output
EOF
test_cmp expected actual
'
not like this:
cat >input-for-test <<-\EOF &&
here comes input
EOF
test_expect_success 'I test such and such ' '
git command-to-be-tested <input-for-test >actual &&
cat >expected <<-\EOF &&
here comes expected output
EOF
test_cmp expected actual
'
