In modern Git we prefer "git -C <cmd" over "(cd <somewhere && git <cmd>)" as it doesn't need an extra shell.

And because it is in a setup function, we actually save the invocation of 22 shells for a single run of the whole test suite.

Noticed while adding a lot more in near vincinity, though not as near to cause merge conflicts, so sending it extra.

Thanks, Stefan
