+Sometimes the opposite is desired - ability to execute only one or
+several tests.  Mostly while debugging tests.  For that you can say
+
+    $ GIT_TEST_ONLY=t9200.8 sh ./t9200-git-cvsexport-commit.sh
+
+or, similrary to GIT_SKIP_TESTS
+
+    $ GIT_TEST_ONLY='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make
+
+In additiona to matching against "<test suite number>.<test number>"
+GIT_TEST_ONLY is matched against just the test numbes.  This comes
+handy when you are running only one test:
+
+    $ GIT_TEST_ONLY='[0-8]' sh ./t9200-git-cvsexport-commit.sh
+
 Note that some tests in the existing test suite rely on previous
 test item, so you cannot arbitrarily disable one and expect the
 remainder of test to check what the test originally was intended
