While running the git-p4 tests, I noticed that t9814 has started
failing due to the (very ingenious!) chain-lint detection introduced
in:

   bb79af9 t/test-lib: introduce --chain-lint option

I think that what's going on is that the chain-lint test is
getting itself confused by this test, which is designed to always
succeed, regardless of whether the individual sub-commands succeed
or not, since it's just setting up a pre-requisite for later use.

I've added an additional set of braces, which makes it clearer
to the --chain-lint code what's going on, but I'd be interested to
know if this is the right way to fix this.

Thanks,
Luke

t9814 has a test that simply sets up a pre-requisite for
another test, and as such, always succeeds. The way it was
written doesn't quite work with the test lint checks introduced
with the --chain-lint option.

Add an additional layer of {} to prevent the --chain-lint
code getting confused.

Thanks for looking into this. I tried to fix any existing tests I could,
but I missed ones whose prerequisites aren't met on my system.

Using {} is reasonable in general; that's how the fixes in 9ddc5ac (t:
wrap complicated expect_code users in a block, 2015-03-20) worked.
However, I think your case is somewhat simpler, in that you really just
want a big conditional to set a prereq based on whether or not a command
succeeds.

Would it make sense to convert this whole thing to just:

  test_lazy_prereq P4D_HAVE_CONFIGURABLE_RUN_MOVE_ALLOW '
	p4 configure show run.move.allow >out &&
	egrep ^run.move.allow: out
  '
