Could we use GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES for this? If it's set to TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY won't that cover the in-tree and out-of-tree test cases? We probably do still want Peff's REPOLESS prereq just in case someone is collecting test results in a repository, but I think that will see much better coverage than relying on people running tests from the tarball. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
