Thanks for submitting a microproject. Some comments...

The From: and Signed-off-by: lines should include your full name and
email address, so probably:

    From: Sanchit Jindal <sanchit1053@gmail.com>
    ...
    Signed-off-by: Sanchit Jindal <sanchit1053@gmail.com>

Reviewers would like to know why the changes made by the patch are
desirable, so use the space between From: and Signed-off-by: to
explain the rationale for the patch. This particular case doesn't
require much explanation, but you may want to say something about how
the `test_path_*` functions provide useful diagnostics when they fail
whereas `test` does not.

This portion after the "---" line is for commentary which doesn't
become part of the official commit message (unlike the portion above
the "---" lines). When you resubmit, you can use this commentary area
to explain what you changed between v1 and v2 (which, in this case,
will just be adding a commit message and fixing the From: and
Signed-off-by: lines). GitGitGadget inserts what you wrote in the PR's
description into this area below the "---" line, so you'll want to
update the PR's description to explain what changed between v1 and v2.

These changes all look trivially correct and faithfully retain the
intention of the original `test` checks. Good.

A few minor points.

 * As our test numbers uniquely identify test scripts, your commit
   title can be "t9803: use test_path_* helpers".

 * We prefer to see the patches signed with real name.  As you seem
   to have let your name known to GGG, I am assuming "sanchit1053"
   is not a name you chose for anonymity.  You would want to, at
   least while you are working for this project, have something like

     $ git config user.name "Sanchit Jindal"

   in the repository you use to work on Git.

 * The proposed commit log message is empty; you seem to have a lot
   more after the three-dash lines, which probably came from pull
   request message you gave GGG.  The single paragraph that talks
   about "test [!] -[e|f]" should go between From: and Signed-off-by:
   but refer to Documentation/SubmittingPatches:[[describe-changes]]
   while reading the message again and updating it.

The patch text below looks good to me (but that is to be
expected---a microproject is not a practice about coding, but is
a practice about interacting with reviewers and going through a
contribution process).

Thanks.

I meant to mention this, as well, in my review but forgot.
