Having said that, it would be simpler for at least the latter to
write it using a single-shot environment assignment, perhaps?  I.e.

         PATH=./test-bin:$PATH git rebase --continue &&

Seems reasonable.  Since these tests were essentially copies of other
tests within the same file, just for rebase -i instead of -m, should I
also add another patch to the series fixing up the rebase -m testcase
to also replace the subshell with a single-shot environment
assignment?

Pitfalls ahead!

        PATH=... git rebase ...

is OK, but

        PATH=... test_must_fail git rebase ...

is not; the latter requires the subshell, otherwise the modified PATH variable survives the command because test_must_fail is a shell function. Yes, it's silly, but that's how it is.
