Hi,

I've taken an example of how to use GIT_SKIP_TESTS directly from t/README:

     $ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make

and noticed that t0000 is still being run. I've written a script to bisect the issue:

     #/bin/sh

     (
             cd t
             GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make | \
                     head | grep 'SKIP skip all tests in t0000'
     )

and it bisected to edc23840b0 (test-lib: bring $remove_trash out of retirement, 2021-05-10) which was merged to master in 2019256717 ("Merge branch 'ab/test-lib-updates'", 2021-06-14).

Note, that spelling out the tests number in full works, i.e.

     $ GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0000 make

won't run t0000.
