This test script that dates back to 2005 certainly shows its age and both its style and the way the tests are laid out do not match the modern standard.

 * Executables that prepare the data used to test the command should
   be inside the test_expect_success block in modern tests.
 * In modern tests, running a command that is being tested, making
   sure it succeeds, and inspecting other side effects that are
   expected, are all done in a single test_expect_success block.
 * A test_expect_success block in modern tests are laid out as
        test_expect_success 'title of the test' '
                body of the test &&
                ...
                body of the test
        '
   not as
        test_expect_success \
                'title of the test' \
                'body of the test &&
                ...
                body of the test'
   which is in a prehistoric style.
 * In modern tests, each &&-chained statement in the body of the
   test_expect_success block are indented with a horizontal tab,
   unlike prehistoric style that used 4-space indent.
