test-lib: some shells do not let $? propagate into an eval
In 3bf7886 (test-lib: Let tests specify commands to be run at end of test, 2010-05-02), the git test harness learned to run cleanup commands unconditionally at the end of a test. During each test, the intended cleanup actions are collected in the test_cleanup variable and evaluated. That variable looks something like this: eval_ret=$?; clean_something && (exit "$eval_ret") eval_ret=$?; clean_something_else && (exit "$eval_ret") eval_ret=$?; final_cleanup && (exit "$eval_ret") eval_ret=$? All cleanup actions are run unconditionally but if one of them fails it is properly reported through $eval_ret. On FreeBSD, unfortunately, $? is set at the beginning of an ‘eval’ to 0 instead of the exit status of the previous command. This results in tests using test_expect_code appearing to fail and all others appearing to pass, unless their cleanup fails. Avoid the problem by setting eval_ret before the ‘eval’ begins. Thanks to Jeff King for the explanation.
