Actually, 455a7f3 (More portability., 2005-09-30) introduced $TAR and it is also used in t5000. cb34882 (fix t5000-tar-tree.sh when $TAR isn't set, 2005-11-08) did the same fix you are adding, but I think both of these fixes are in a wrong place.

I think we should do this instead. That's how SHELL_PATH is passed around from build to all the test scripts already.
