Subject: [PATCH v4 07/10] t1900: cover repo info path keys and path-format

From: "Eslam reda ragheb via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 21:14:44 +0000

From: Eslam reda ragheb <[email-masked]>

Extend t1900 to validate category-key expansion, path.* key
behavior, and --path-format handling for git repo info.

The tests compare repo info output to equivalent rev-parse values.

This ensures behavior remains aligned with existing plumbing
semantics.

Also keep mixed key/category ordering coverage so callers can rely
on deterministic output order when combining explicit keys with
category requests.
