Mathias gave me commiter rights on the repo
(https://github.com/mlafeldt/sharness at that time) one year ago.

A few days ago, as I wanted since last December to release v1.0.0, but
was uneasy to do so without at least a LGTM from him, I contacted him
by private email and he decided to transfer the repo to
https://github.com/chriscool/sharness, to give me maintainership and
to step down completely. So yeah this is a genuine maintainer change
and not an hostile fork at all.
(I cc'ed Mathias again so he can confirm if he wants.)

I am not sure it qualifies as a stand alone thing there are some
differences and for now some features are going from Git's test-lib.sh
into Sharness but not the other way around.
