The problem is that check-code before this change would list files that were white listed using no- check- code but without a glob marker. Whereas, the test-check-code.t expected output has no-che?k-code (glob) in order to avoid having itself flagged as a file to skip. Thus, in addition to any lines relating to things you did wrong, all of the white-listed files are listed as changed. There is no reason for things to be this painful. This change makes the output from check-code.py match the expected output in test-check-code.t diff -r d13bcc9fd656 -r 15b06f306c1f contrib/check-code.py --- a/contrib/check-code.py Thu Dec 24 10:16:30 2015 -0800 +++ b/contrib/check-code.py Thu Dec 24 19:32:14 2015 +0000 @@ -478,7 +478,13 @@ name, match, f) continue if "no-" "check-code" in pre: - print "Skipping %s it has no-" "check-code" % f + # If you're looking at this line, it's because a file has: + # no- check- code + # but the reason to output skipping is to make life for + # tests easier.
