Probably related to this line. Assuming you have "diff" in your PATH,
based on that message I would guess that your shell is trying to execute
"diff -u" as a single file, which obviously won't work. The relevant
code in test-lib.sh is something like:

  GIT_TEST_CMP='diff -u'
  test_cmp() {
    $GIT_TEST_CMP "$@"
  }

which _should_ split the "diff -u" on whitespace. What platform are you
on? Which shell is /bin/sh on your system?
