This patch series enables me to change ./t9999-my-test.sh --run=1-3,5,17,19 into ./t9999-my-test.sh --run=setup,rename,symlink and have it pick out tests with "setup", "rename", or "symlink" in their description and run those. Saves me a lot of time, especially since numbers for tests aren't readily accessible. The easiest way for me to get the numbers corresponding to the tests I want to run, is to run all the tests and look at the output to match up the descriptions with their numbers -- thus defeating the point of selecting just a subset of the tests to run in the first place. Changes since v1: * Modified the documentation slightly to combine a separate sentence into the previous paragraph and avoid confusion around whether negation applies to substring selections (pointed out by Taylor) * Simplified the output for skipped tests even further, as suggested by Taylor.
