We've hand-rolled several "if" statements looking for failures. We can use test_must_fail here, which is shorter and more robust. Note that we modify the commands slightly (to use "git init foo" rather than "cd foo && git init") to avoid dealing with a subshell, but this should not affect the outcome.
