Hi, I'm Prathamesh Chavan. As a part of my micropraoject I have been working on "Avoid pipes for git related commands in test suites". I tried sending the patch, but it got blocked since the mail contained more than 100 000 characters. Hence, I have made the required changes in branch "micro-proj" and you may find it in 'git' repository on my github account. My user name is: pratham-pc. Please review the changes. Thanks.
