Cool. Git's test harness is something I really miss having in other
projects. I'm glad this project exists. :)

It looks like it takes some manual work to massage upstream improvements
into Sharness.

I don't think the Git project would ever want to say "sharness is the
upstream, and we are now just a user of it". But I wonder if we could
break down test-lib.sh to keep the Git-specific parts separate, which
would make it easier for sharness to pull the other bits as a whole.

I dunno. I guess it would depend on how invasive the patches were, but I
would not be opposed to such a thing. I suspect the separation might
actually make our test setup more clear.
