I like comments, but lately I've seen nothing but reviews stripping my comments.

Quite frankly, I think -v is completely useless; who likes to scroll
through pages of terminal output?  If there are really users of this
thing, why haven't they got it to auto-pager yet?

I just comment out the test_expect_success and close-quote, and put a
test_done after it.  I would never advocate this GIT_TRACE thing
anywhere, because I want to put GIT_TRACE=1 (and possibly other
modifications) where I want it.  Locally.
