This line turns out to be problematic on OSX and ultimately causes the
test to fail.
When OSX's 'mv's destination is read-only, it asks whether to replace
the destination even though in the test its stdin is not a terminal
(and thus doesn't conform to POSIX[1]). Since the '.bitmap' file is
read-only, and since 'mv' obviously doesn't get an affirmative
response from /dev/null, the original '.bitmap' file is not
overwritten, the subsequent 'git rev-list' doesn't print any error
message, and finally 'test_i18ngrep' causes the test to fail.
The relevant part of the '-x' test output on Travis CI:
++mv .git/objects/pack/pack-8886db3fce4f9657c1a43fee7d3ea4f2a4b5be2d.bitmap.tmp .git/objects/pack/pack-8886db3fce4f9657c1a43fee7d3ea4f2a4b5be2d.bitmap

not ok 43 - truncated bitmap fails gracefully
As far as I can tell, 'mv -f' appears to make the test work on OSX as
well.
I've run a build job with an additional 'grep ^override
t/test-results/*.out' command following the tests to see whether there
are any other cases where OSX 'mv' doesn't overwrite a read-only file
without causing the tests to fail, but found nothing. (But note that
the OSX build jobs don't run all tests.)
