I avoid "test -a/-o" myself without even thinking (I am from old-school),
but at the same time I thought the progress in the world made such caution
obsolescent.

Not so.  Even though POSIX.1 lists -a/-o as options to "test", they are
marked "Obsolescent XSI" ("Strictly Conforming POSIX Applications and
Strictly Conforming XSI Applications shall not use obsolescent features").

We may want [PATCH -01/18] to clean up the existing code first.  Even
outside git-rebase--interactive.sh there are quite a few of them.

    $ git grep -n -e 'test .* -[ao] ' -- '*.sh' | wc -l
    38
