[Diffutils-devel] [PATCH] tests: avoid false failure with some shells on debian, freebsd

[Jim Meyering]

Nelson Beebe reported that a few types of systems failed the "colors"
test because they would erroneously colorize this invocation of diff:

    TERM=dumb returns_ 1 diff ---presume-output-tty --color=auto a b > out

That was because the TERM=dumb setting failed to make it through the
invocation of the returns_ function to the diff that required it.

Here's the fix I've pushed:
