Not in this form, for two reasons ;-)

(1) t7610-mergetool.sh,also seems to use "yes".  Perhaps define something
    in test-lib.sh?

(2) The implementation is iffy.

> +yes () {
> +	test -n "$*" && y="$*" || y='y'

Shouldn't it be

	if test $# = 0
        then
        	y=y
	else
        	y="$*"
	fi

so that

	yes ""

would give runs of empty lines?
