Subject: [bug#72536] [PATCH v4] tap: new `--stderr-prefix' option to prefix test script's stderr
Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:39:52 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Attached is v4 of the patch series.  Changes from v3:

  * Don't process stderr if not prefixing stderr (stderr and stdout 
will refer to the same underlying file if --merge is passed, preserving 
the previous behavior)
  * Flush each line of stdout when prefixing to hopefully reduce 
out-of-order processing of stderr vs. stdout.
  * Document that --stderr-prefix can cause out-of-order processing, 
even with --merge.
  * Re-wrap comments at column 80.
  * Use `test ...` instead of `[ ... ]`.
  * Add tests for added terminating newline on final stderr line.
  * Add some additional comments to the new tests to make them easier 
to read.
