[0/1] Add coverage for 'git format-patch --range-diff' single-patch case

Message

Philippe Blain via GitGitGadget Sept. 11, 2018, 8:21 p.m. UTC

In es/format-patch-rangediff, we added a '--range-diff' option to
git-format-patch to automatically add a range-diff. We also added an option
to write the diff as commentary to a single patch submission. However, this
check was not tested.

I discovered this test gap by running 'make coverage-test coverage-report'
on 'next' and then comparing the uncovered lines with those in the diff
between 'master' and 'next'. I have a script that automates this process,
and I'm still working on polishing it. You can see an earlier version at
[1].

Sorry that these Cc's didn't work (again). Adding them manually and 
investigating the GGG code.

It was an intentional (though unjustified) oversight. Thanks for
working on this.

Interesting. Does your script detect that the --creation-factor option
added by patch 13/14 [1] also lacks a test? (I'm not necessarily
suggesting adding a test at the moment. Even Dscho's git-range-diff
series doesn't have a test for "creation factor", so it wouldn't
necessarily make sense to add a test only for the git-format-patch
case. Instead, we'd want, at some point, to add tests covering both
git-range-diff and git-format-patch.)
