The inspiration of using CEILING comes from the existing t7810-grep test, and I would have preferred if you used the same non/git for a non-git repository for easier greppability ("git grep CEIL t/" to notice the use of the technique and then "git grep non/git t/" to verify, for example).

Do you even need these two lines for this test? your test runs inside test-outside/repo that _is_ a git repository, and that repository knows that ../no-repo is not part of it already.

This one does need the ceiling to prevent git from finding the trash directory.

This one does not, I think (please correct me; I am not being very careful).
