In olden times, tests would quietly exit the script when they failed
at an inconvenient moment, which was a little disconcerting.
Therefore v0.99.5~24^2~4 (Trapping exit in tests, using return for
errors, 2005-08-10) switched to an idiom of using "return" instead,
wrapping evaluation of test code in a function to make that safe:
test_run_ () {
eval >&3 2>&4 "$1"
eval_ret="$?"
return 0
}
Years later, the implementation of test_when_finished (v1.7.1.1~95,
2010-05-02) and v1.7.2-rc2~1^2~13 (test-lib: output a newline before
"ok" under a TAP harness, 2010-06-24) took advantage of test_run_ as a
place to put code shared by all test assertion functions, without
paying attention to the function's former purpose:
test_run_ () {
...
eval >&3 2>&4 "$1"
eval_ret=$?
if should run cleanup
then
eval >&3 2>&4 "$test_cleanup"
fi
if TAP format requires a newline here
then
echo
fi
return 0
}
That means cleanup commands and the newline to put TAP output at
column 0 are skipped when tests use "return" to fail early. Fix it by
introducing a test_eval_ function to catch the "return", with a
comment explaining the new function's purpose for the next person who
might touch this code.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
