[PATCH 14/29] t: drop subshell with missing &&-chain in favor of simpler construct

From: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>
Date: Jun 26, 2018, 07:29 UTC
Message-ID: <20180626073001.6555-15-sunshine@sunshineco.com>
In-Reply-To: <20180626073001.6555-1-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

These tests employ a noisy subshell (with missing &&-chain) to feed input into Git commands:

    (echo a; echo b; echo c) | git some-command ...

Drop the subshell in favor of a simple 'printf':

    printf "%s\n" a b c | git some-command ...
