Hello I am Rohit Ashiwal, a computer science and engineering student from IIT Roorkee. I am a git user for 2 years now and want to contribute towards its development. I have read the microproject list available [here](1) and project titled `Use test_path_is_* functions in test scripts` caught my eye. I want to work on this one if anyone is not working on it (I was not able to find related threads on public-inbox). I am somewhat familiar with git's code as I was previously working on git-for-windows and I have solved 1 [issue](2), which is a reason for my concern. Should this count as a microproject? As the webpage instructs us to work only on 1 microproject. If you disregard that contribution, here is my approach to solving this microproject: search for `test -f` in `t/**` and replace all occurrences with `test_path_is_file` and similarly for other mentioned commands. Is it correct?

Regards Rohit Ashiwal
