We do not care the order but we do care about the uniqueness in parallel
test execution.

It does appear that we need a bit better preprocessing of git-sh-i18n at
the compile time now. How about applying the restructuring shown in the
patch by Alex (without the @@NO_GETTEXT@@ bit) first without changing any
logic, then try making the "First decide what scheme to use" part lighter
weight by replacing the runtime "type gettext.sh" and such checks with
some preprocessing?

IOW, the first step would look like the attached patch, and then we can
replace the entire "First decide" part if/elif/fi chain with just this:

	# The scheme to use
        : ${GIT_INTERNAL_GETTEXT_SH_SCHEME:=@@GETTEXT_SH_SCHEME@@}

so that t/lib-gettext.sh can define and export GIT_INTERNAL_GETTEXT_SH to
always get what it wants to test (fallthrough?). At build time, instead
of, or in addition to, the $(cmd_munge_script), we could replace the
single @@GETTEXT_SH_SCHEME@@ token above with whatever scheme we want to
use to hardcode the decision we make at the compile time.

Hmm?
