I don't think muscle memory matters as much in this case as the usual
end-user facing interfaces.  These are only for people who build and test
git, not for our end users.

I think it is Ok to do this (yes I am trying to avoid doing this myself,
as I am a bit behind and also am lazy) just as a single patch to rename
the environment variables, and filter them with a single GIT_TEST_*
pattern at the same time.

Thanks.
