This used to be 'test -z "$it" || eval "$it"'; doesn't it make a difference?

What is the value expected to be in this variable? Nobody seems to set it in our codebase, so I cannot say "with the current code, this rewrite is safe" or anything like that.

This is probably not related to your patch, but
	GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=cache sh t0303-*.sh
passes OK for me while
	make GIT_TEST_CREDENTIAL_HELPER=cache T=t0303-*.sh prove
seems to get stuck forever.
