test: allow running the tests under "prove"

Michael J Gruber · gitster · commit 28d836c81586 · 2010-10-26T11:25:48.000-07:00
You can run "make DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET=prove test" to run the test under
"prove" (or $(PROVE) if set).  The output is a bit easier to read when
running many tests in parallel.

+You can give DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET=prove on the make command (or define it
+in config.mak) to cause "make test" to run tests under prove.
+GIT_PROVE_OPTS can be used to pass additional options, e.g.
+
+    $ make DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET=prove GIT_PROVE_OPTS='--timer --jobs 16' test

 You can also run each test individually from command line, like this:
 
     $ sh ./t3010-ls-files-killed-modified.sh
