From 3f0843fceb1b848fd1dca79d7986f173586cdfa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Sat, 5 Aug 2017 00:18:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tests: do not require Git to be built when testing an installed Git We really only need the test helpers to be built in the worktree in that case, but that is not what we test for. On the other hand it is a perfect opportunity to verify that `GIT_TEST_INSTALLED` points to a working Git. So let's test the appropriate Git executable. While at it, also adjust the error message in the `GIT_TEST_INSTALLED` case. This patch is best viewed with `-w --patience`.
