I found this commit message slightly misleading. Running the test suite with specific index versions is already supported, by defining TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION in 'config.mak'. What we're doing here is introduce an additional environment variable that can also be used to set the index format in tests.

Even setting TEST_GIT_INDEX_VERSION=4 in the environment does run the test suite with index-v4. Admittedly the name is a bit strange compared to our usual GIT_TEST_* environment variable names, and it should probably be documented better (it's only documented in the Makefile currently), but I'm not sure we should introduce another environment variable for this purpose?
