test-lib-functions: remove test_subcommand_inexact

derrickstolee · gitster · commit 16dcec218b68 · 2022-03-25T13:15:01.000-07:00
The implementation of test_subcommand_inexact() was originally introduced in e4d0c11 (repack: respect kept objects with '--write-midx -b', 2021-12-20) with the intention to allow finding a subcommand based on an initial set of arguments. The inexactness was intended as a way to allow flexible options beyond that initial set, as opposed to test_subcommand() which requires that the full list of options is provided in its entirety. The implementation began by copying test_subcommand() and replaced the repeated argument 'printf' statement to append ".*" instead of "," to each argument. This caused it to be more flexible than initially intended. The previous change deleted the only use of test_subcommand_inexact, so instead of editing the helper, delete it.
