Subject: [PATCHv5 2/8] t7408: merge short tests, factor out testing method

From: Stefan Beller <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2016 14:53:21 -0700

Tests consisting of one line each can be consolidated to have fewer tests
to run as well as fewer lines of code.

When having just a few git commands, do not create a new shell but
use the -C flag in Git to execute in the correct directory.
