t4015: let the test pass with any default branch name

From: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

We do not need to hard-code the actual branch name, as we have access to the reflog and can be a lot more precise at what we want.

Strangely enough, this test case would have succeeded even with an overridden default branch name, obviously for the wrong reason. Let's verify that it passes for the expected reason, by looking for a tell-tale in Git's output.

I am not enthused to see us going beyond "@{1}" or "@{-1}". It would make the test a bit too brittle as a future changes need to refrain from creating another commit and/or switching to a third branch to do some more set-up before coming here to attempt an merge.

In this particular case, "git merge @{-1}" may be more robust from that point of view

Thanks.

Hi Junio,

Right. It also makes it a bit harder to understand the test case for the occasional reader.

It might be _slightly_ more robust, but not by a lot. I opted to use test_commit instead and then refer to the revision via the tag that is created by that function.

Ciao,
Dscho

We do not need to hard-code the actual branch name, as we can use the test_commit function to simplify the code and use the tag it generates, thereby being a lot more precise in what we want.

Strangely enough, this test case would have succeeded even with an overridden default branch name, obviously for the wrong reason. Let's verify that it passes for the expected reason, by looking for a tell-tale in Git's output.

Aaaaand another issue, also found while working on

Changes since v1:

* We now use test_commit and the tag it creates, rather than the reflog.
