testing gitolite

Here's how to run the tests.

WARNING: they will clobber lots of things in your $HOME, so be sure to use a throwaway userid.

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
cd gitolite
git checkout -f g3
prove

Gitolite's test suite is mostly written using tsh -- the "testing shell". Take a look at some of the scripts and you will see what it looks like. It has a few quirks and nuances; if you really care, email me.

The tests also use a somewhat convoluted system of environment variables in order to run entirely as a local user, without going through ssh at all. This lets a complete test suite run in about a fifth or less of the time it would otherwise take.

If you think that defeats the purpose of the testing, you haven't read [this][auth] yet.
