We fix up the #!-lines on all of the existing shell scripts (as well as python and perl). Wouldn't we want to do the same for people who have bash in an alternate location?

As the series is now, people with bash in their PATH, but not in /bin/bash, will fail t5801 (the prereq to skip the test uses "type", but git-remote-testgit hardcodes /bin/bash).
