Oh, I understand now. I apologize for the confusion. When I'm working on a
bugfix I add the bug file to the regression tests before I start work on the
bug. But that's not how the regression tests are usually used.
make test-redo is useful when a bug fix has introduced a regression; the
object of make test-redo is to get it so that no regression tests differ
from the baseline (except the newly-added ones and spacing-check).
Now I can see where I will use make test-redo in the future. I've not used
it well in the past.
Thanks,
Carl
