Because "VAR=VAL command" is sufficient to run 'command' with
environment variable VAR set to value VAL without affecting the
environment of the shell itself, but we cannot do the same with a
shell function (most notably, "test_must_fail"), we have subshell
invocations with multiple lines like this:
... &&
(
VAR=VAL &&
export VAR &&
test_must_fail git command
) &&
...
which could be expressed as
... &&
test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git comand &&
...
Find and shorten such constructs in existing test scripts.
Note that I am not 100% convinced myself that it is a good idea to
do this, so please do not add this to the list without seeing it
discussed.
Thanks.
