In a future patch, we plan on making the test_must_fail()-family of functions accept only git commands. Even though force_color() wraps an invocation of `env git`, test_must_fail() will not be able to figure this out since it will assume that force_color() is just some random function which is disallowed. Instead of using `env` in force_color() (which does not support shell functions), export the environment variables in a subshell. Write the invocation as `force_color test_must_fail git ...` since shell functions are now supported.
