	Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested command with environment variable(s) set only for that command. This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained and affects later commands. To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables and run such a test in a subshell, like so: ( VAR=VAL && export VAR && test_must_fail git command to be tested ) But with "env" utility, we should be able to say: test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested which is much shorter and easier to read.

2009-03-14	test-suite: Make test script numbers unique	Johannes Sixt	1	-0/+146
	In order to selectively skip tests, the environment variable GIT_SKIP_TESTS can be set like this: $ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t1301 t4150.18' make test That is, its value can contain only the test script numbers, but not the full script name. Therefore, it is important that the test scripts are uniquely numbered. This makes it so. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
