"Test out" to me sound like trying something out and the part "out"
in the name no longer hints it is about "output"; you may have
shortened the name too much to be meaningful, I am afraid.

Is the helper used to check with anything but equality?  Otherwise
you can lose "= " to make it shorter.

Having said all that, as an external interface, I wonder

	test_line_count -e = 0 git-ls-files -o

would work better.  It usually takes <op> <num> <file>, but when
$1 is a magic "-e", we shift it out and it becomes <op> <num> <cmd>...
