+Naming Tests
+------------
+
+The test files are named as:
+
+	tNNNN-commandname-details.sh
+
+where N is a decimal digit.
+
+First digit tells the family:
+
+	0 - the absolute basics and global stuff
+	1 - the basic commands concerning database
+	2 - the basic commands concerning the working tree
+	3 - the other basic commands (e.g. ls-files)
+	4 - the diff commands
+	5 - the pull and exporting commands
+	6 - the revision tree commands (even e.g. merge-base)
+
+Second digit tells the particular command we are testing.
+
+Third digit (optionally) tells the particular switch or group of switches
+we are testing.
+
+If you create files under t/ directory (i.e. here) that is not
+the top-level test script, never name the file to match the above
+pattern.  The Makefile here considers all such files as the
+top-level test script and tries to run all of them.  A care is
+especially needed if you are creating a common test library
+file, similar to test-lib.sh, because such a library file may
+not be suitable for standalone execution.
