The policy about how output is presented in the text-mode client

should be only in the command-line tool.

Writing tests

=============

In general tests should be placed in a file named test_FOO.py where

FOO is the logical thing under test. That file should be placed in the

tests subdirectory under the package being tested.

For example, tests for merge3 in bzrlib belong in bzrlib/tests/test_merge3.py.

Running tests

=============

Currently, bzr selftest is used to invoke tests.

You can provide a pattern argument to run a subset. For example,

to run just the whitebox tests, run bzr selftest --pattern .*whitebox.*
