Originally, test_expect_failure was designed to be the opposite
of test_expect_success, but this was a bad decision. Most tests
run a series of commands that leads to the single command that
needs to be tested, like this:
test_expect_{success,failure} 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
what is to be tested
'
And expecting a failure exit from the whole sequence misses the
point of writing tests. Your setup$N that are supposed to
succeed may have failed without even reaching what you are
trying to test. The only valid use of test_expect_failure is to
check a trivial single command that is expected to fail, which
is a minority in tests of Porcelain-ish commands.
This large-ish patch rewrites all uses of test_expect_failure to
use test_expect_success and rewrites the condition of what is
tested, like this:
test_expect_success 'test title' '
setup1 &&
setup2 &&
setup3 &&
! this command should fail
'
test_expect_failure is redefined to serve as a reminder that
that test *should* succeed but due to a known breakage in git it
currently does not pass. So if git-foo command should create a
file 'bar' but you discovered a bug that it doesn't, you can
write a test like this:
test_expect_failure 'git-foo should create bar' '
rm -f bar &&
git foo &&
test -f bar
'
This construct acts similar to test_expect_success, but instead
of reporting "ok/FAIL" like test_expect_success does, the
outcome is reported as "FIXED/still broken".

With --strip-comments (or short -s), git stripspace now removes lines
beginning with a '#', too.

Previous tests only had paragraphs of one line. This commit adds some
tests to check when many consecutive text lines are given.
Also, it adds tests for checking that many lines between paragraphs are
correctly reduced to one when there are tabs and spaces in those lines.

Moved some tests to another test_expect_success block.
Many tests now reuse the same "expect" file. Also replacing
many printf "" >expect with one >expect instruction.
Added missing && which concatenated tests in some
test_expect_success blocks.

These tests check some features that git-stripspace already has
and those that it should manage well: Removing trailing spaces
from lines, removing blank lines at the beginning and end,
unifying multiple lines between paragraphs, doing the correct
when there is no newline at the last line, etc.
It seems that the implementation needs to save the whole line
in memory to be able to manage correctly long lines with
text and spaces conveniently distribuited on them.
