Hi,

just a few nitpicks:

please move the test_tick directly in front of the commit.  Readers might 
assume that it has an effect on mkdir otherwise.

Please lose the empty line before the closing quote.  (This applies to all 
tests.)

Maybe do that with an existing file?  Since the test script lives in t/, 
and the test is run in t/trash/, we can test for "../Makefile".

Also, I would shorten the message to "relative path outside tree should 
fail".

I am not convinced that this should fail.

> +	'cd dir1 && git checkout HEAD -- ../../file0'

Please add some other test like

test_expect_success 'checkout with empty prefix' '
	rm file0 &&
	git checkout HEAD -- file0 &&
	test base = "$(cat file0)"
'

Thanks,
Dscho

I personaly find the extra blank lines before and after the
indented test body easier to read.  That is..


	test_expect_sucess 'test description comes here' '

		test command 1 &&
		test command 2 &&
                ...
                test command N

	'

I agree with all other suggestions from your message.

```

Personally, I don't.  But you are the maintainer.

Ciao,
