The above is v4 plus the "t0008: avoid brace expansion" fix. v4 is slightly outdated and not quite the right version to merge to 'next'. I'll post a v5 re-roll as per:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/212184/focus=212856

in the next 24 hours or so.

I think the "t0008: avoid brace expansion" fix at the tip should probably be squashed into its parent. I've amended the commit message accordingly in my github fork.

Thanks, Adam
