This could be convenient when tests are independent from the rest in the
same file. Normally we would do this

test_expect_success '...' '
        git init foo &&
        (
                cd foo &&
                <script>
        )
'

Now we can write a shorter version

test_repo_expect_success '...' '
        <script>
'

The other function, test_subdir_expect_success, expands the script to
"( cd <repo> && <script> )", which can be useful for grouping a series of
tests that operate on the same repository in a subdir, e.g.

test_expect_success 'create repo abc' 'test_create_repo abc'
test_subdir_expect_success abc '...' <script>
test_subdir_expect_success abc '...' <another-script>

 Lately I start to add more and more tests in this style. So this
 looks like a good change to me.
