Hi Hannes,

Thank you for the review!

It looks like our emails crossed paths; I sent out a v2 [1] just before your comments arrived. In that version, I have addressed both of your points:

1. Moved the git invocations out of the subshells and replaced
   the logic with 'test_grep !' to properly catch exit codes.
2. Restored the trailing newline at the end of the file.

Best regards, Siddharth
