From 48430e44ace97055567294d412dde9bb8adc0fbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mirko Faina Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 02:15:42 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] t0008: improve test cleanup to fix failing test The "large exclude file ignored in tree" test fails. This is due to an additional warning message that is generated in the test. "warning: unable to access 'subdir/.gitignore': Too many levels of symbolic links", the extra warning that is not supposed to be there, happens because of some leftover files left by previous tests. To fix this we improve cleanup on "symlinks not respected in-tree", and because the tests in t0008 in general have poor cleanup, at the start of "large exclude file ignored in tree" we search for any leftover .gitignore and remove them before starting the test. Improve post-test cleanup and add pre-test cleanup to make sure that we have a workable environment for the test.
