'test_path_is_file', 'test_path_is_dir' and 'test_file_is_missing' are test helpers used in Git's development, that emit useful diagnostic information when they detect a failing condition, while test -[efd] does not. Replace the basic shell commands 'test -f', 'test -d' and 'test -e', with this modern path checking approach.
