I also wonder if we really want all invocations of git to be marked up
in this way. If the primary goal of the test is checking that a certain
git command runs successfully and generates the expected output, then I
think it is a good candidate for conversion.

So in a hunk like this:

   test_expect_success 'git commit-tree records the correct tree in a commit' '
        commit0=$(echo NO | git commit-tree $P) &&
  -     tree=$(git show --pretty=raw $commit0 |
  -              sed -n -e "s/^tree //p" -e "/^author /q") &&
  +     tree=$(git show --pretty=raw $commit0 >out &&
  +     sed -n -e "s/^tree //p" -e "/^author /q" <out) &&
        test "z$tree" = "z$P"

we are interested in testing commit-tree, not "git show". Is it worth
avoiding pipes there? I admit the cost to using the intermediate file is
not huge there, but it feels more awkward and un-shell-like to me as a
reader.
