Spot what is wrong with this:

        test_expect_success make sure we have the repo '
                test -d .git
        '

I think "we may or may not have a single prereq word" would be less error
prone.  (you could make sure "test_have_prereq" gets no lowercase letter
to mitigate the issue, though).

I tend to like the comma myself, but quoted, space separated list is fine
by me.
