"Improve" -> "improve".
I am not sure about "clarity", but I agree that the main thrust of
this change is no longer "avoid hiding exit status of git behind
pipe", but more about "use 'show-ref --verify' to validate the right
thing (meaning: grepping just for a string that could be a substring
is an unreliable test)". Perhaps that is giving more clarity?
coverage to test negative outcome is "while at it", just like we
(incidentally) lost pipes that used to hide exit status, so I am not
sure if it deserves mention on the commit title.
t9811: be more precise to check tag creation
The tests grep tagnames they expect to exist from "git tag"
output, which can be fooled by false positive if an unexpected
tag whose name has the expected tagname as its substring. Fix
them by using "git show-ref --verify" instead.
While we are at it, add a negative test to verify that a tag
that is involved in earlier tests that is not supposed to appear
in the result does indeed not appear in the resulting
repository.
Incidentally, this would also correct the problem the original
had, which lost the exit status of "git tag" that was placed
upstream of a pipe.
or something, perhaps?
Also you'd need to sign-off your patch.
Thanks.
