Here is another, as I seem to have managed to kill another one ;-)
-- >8 --
"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
) &&
...
but that could be expressed as
... &&
test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git comand &&
...
Find and shorten such constructs in existing test scripts.
