Some of the error messages in the test suite, especially the ones
about tree differences, are notoriously opaque. I'm not sure why it
has to be this way; no doubt improvement is possible, if only one of
us would Get Around To It.
In the meantime, don't spend a lot of time trying to interpret that
error message. Instead, use manual investigation techniques to find
out if your test is doing what you expect. (If it is, and you're
still getting this error message, then send a mail here detailing what
you expected and what you actually saw, and we'll figure it out. By
"what you expected", I don't mean the output from the Python test, but
rather the behavior of the test on disk -- what it's actually doing.)
Given the incomplete state of the patch, probably the test should be
marked XFAIL right now, since it's still expected to fail.
Also, when you the "automatic_conflict_resolution" test to test_list
in the Python file, put a comma at the end, so the next person to add
a test after it doesn't make a syntax error :-). In Python, the last
element in a list can have a comma after it, unlike in C.
Good luck,
