416fda6 (build: do not install git-remote-testpy, 2013-05-24) added git-remote-testpy to NO_INSTALL, with the intent of excluding it from the default install. This is typically meant for scripts in contrib/ with their own testsuite and Makefile (e.g. git remote-bzr, git remote-hg). Unfortunately, git-remote-testpy.py is a toplevel script without its own Makefile; its testsuite is located in t/t5800-remote-testpy.sh. What this means is that git-remote-testpy is not built by default (when 'make' is invoked), but t5800 runs by default (like every other test in t/). As a result, a new contributor cloning git.git and running 'make test' for the first time will notice test failures. Fix this unpleasantness by patching t5800 to check for git-remote-testpy as a prerequisite.
