Yeah, that would be a good thing. As part of doing so, we might want to come up with a way to test the tests, randomly skipping pieces that are not "setup" and find ones that break the later tests when skipped, and mark test scripts that fail such a test for fixing. > If I try to skip the setup test this patch touches, then there > is no bare.git and lots of later tests fail.

That is a better and worse way to do it at the same time ;-) It definitely is better from maintainability POV to keep each test as independent as possible. It however also is worse if it forces us to be repetitive X-<. > On the other hand I agree that the 'cd' here is a bad practice.
