Styles and conventions are different from project to project, but
around here, we do _not_ start the log message with an itemized list
of what was done.  I can sort of see why some project might find it
useful, but we do not do that here.

Instead we talk about the status-quo in present tense, point out
problems (which can be omitted when they are obvious from the
description of the status-quo) and describe the approach to addres
the problems (again, which can be omitted when it is obvious from
what is written already).  We then summarize the solution in
imperative mood, as if we are giving an order to the codebase to "be
like so" (you can think of it as giving a command to a patch monkey
to "make the code like so").

	Subject: t3600: modernize style

	The tests in t3600 were written long time ago, and has a lot
	of style violations, including the mixed use of tabs and
	spaces, not having the title and the opening quote of the
	body on the first line of the tests, and other shell script
	style violations.  Update it to match the CodingGuidelines.

is probably what I would summarize this change as..

Swap '' and ""; it is very rare that use of double-quotes around the
test body is justifiable (for one, any $variable reference would be
expanded _before_ the test runs, which is almost always not what you
want, if you used double-quote around the test body).  

There are many other instances of this in the remainder of this
patch, which I won't mention.

Good.

The point of having 2/3 and 3/3 as separate steps is because 3/3 is
about using the test-path-is... helpers, while 2/3 is about modernizing
the codebase before doing 3/3 so that the it can be reviewed more easily
without distracting changes 2/3 needs to make.

So you would want to turn the "[ -f foo ]" into "test -f foo" in
this step, and then you will further turn it in the next step into
"test_path_is_file foo".

It would not show in the end result, but paying attention to this
kind of detail shows how careful the author was when future readers
read the patch, so I try to be careful when I am structuring a
series like this myself.

Likewise.

Likewise (I'll stop pointing these out from here on).

Again, swap "" and '' around; that way you can lose the backslash.

Consider using $LF that is defined in t/test-lib.sh for exactly a
case like this one.

	git rm -f "space embedded" "tab	embedded" "newline${LF}embedded"

That may make the test body even easier to follow.

Inspect the output from

	git grep 'cd ' 't/t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh'

and see which is prevalent; I think this line may want to become

	(
		cd repo &&

but I did not count.

Likewise.

Good.

Thanks for working on this.
