Thanks. Took quite some time to take out the Git-specific
functionality. And there's still a lot of room for improvement.

That would be fantastic! From a technical point of view, it would make
a lot of sense to join forces here.

How do you think would Sharness fit into the Git project? Is adding it
as an external dependency an option?

Let's share some ideas before getting to it.

While I haven't touched the names of the test functions, I renamed
most of the global shell variables, e.g. GIT_TEST_OPTS to TEST_OPTS
and TEST_DIRECTORY to SHARNESS_TEST_DIRECTORY. That might be a (minor)
problem.

As for the patches: absolutely. I'd really love to give something back to Git.
