From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schinde...@gmx.de>
We really only need the test helpers to be built in the worktree in that
case, but that is not what we test for.
On the other hand it is a perfect opportunity to verify that
`GIT_TEST_INSTALLED` points to a working Git.
So let's test the appropriate Git executable. While at it, also adjust
the error message in the `GIT_TEST_INSTALLED` case.
This patch is best viewed with `-w --patience`.
