- This is the opposite of test_expect_success. If <script>
- yields success, test is considered a failure.

- Example:
-
- test_expect_failure \
- 'git-update-index without --add should fail adding.' \
- 'git-update-index should-be-empty'
+ This is NOT the opposite of test_expect_success, but is used
+ to mark a test that demonstrates a known breakage. Unlike
+ the usual test_expect_success tests, which say "ok" on
+ success and "FAIL" on failure, this will say "FIXED" on
+ success and "still broken" on failure. Failures from these
+ tests won't cause -i (immediate) to stop.
