From fc2ead0053d31735ac4a02c370c5c2b6dbaf2bbe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Siddharth Shrimali Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2026 02:10:28 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] t3700: avoid suppressing git's exit code Replace pipelines involving git commands with temporary files (actual) to ensure that any crashes or unexpected exit codes from the git commands are properly caught by the test suite. A simple pipeline like 'git foo | grep bar' ignores the exit code of 'git', which can hide regressions. In cases where we were counting lines with 'wc -l' to ensure a pattern was absent, simplify the logic to use '! grep' to avoid subshells entirely.
