[PATCH 1/2] t7800: simplify basic usage test

From
David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<20170207091700.20156-1-davvid@gmail.com>

Use "test_line_count" instead of "wc -l", use "git -C" instead of a subshell, and use test_expect_code when calling difftool. Ease debugging by capturing output into temporary files.
