git-annex test could run git-annex testremote with a single directory
remote. This would both find bugs in testremote, and probably generally
bugs involving special remote operations, of course especially with the
directory remote.

To avoid confusing output, running testremote itself is not ideal,
instead, it would be great to have Command.TestRemote export a TestTree,
that could then be added to the test suite's TestTree.

added remote variants Todo item is done at last. Might later want to think about testing some other types of remotes that can be tested locally. The git remote itself is probably already well enough tested by the test suite that testremote is not needed. Could test things like bup, or rsync to a local directory. Or even external, although that would require embedding an external special remote program into the test suite.. 2020-04-30 17:49:22 +00:00
