Of course I'm saying "in addition": I wrote "if there were a switch", meaning that current running test for built git would be default, and after setting some environment variable for example it would test installed (or rather pre-installed) version.

It would be testing halfway during installing: we should install to some DESTDIR (like rpm does when building from SRPM), e.g. /tmp/git-<version>-root/, or something like that.
