Several times in t5317, we would use `wc -l` to ensure that a grep result is empty. However, grep already has a way to do that... Its return code! Use `! grep` in the cases where we are ensuring that there are no matching lines. It turns out that these tests were simply born this way[1], doing all this unnecessary work for no reason, probably due to copy/paste programming, and it seems no reviewer caught it. Likewise, the unnecessary work wasn't noticed even when the code was later touched for various cleanups[2,3].
