To create its "expect" file, this test pipes into `sort` the output of `git for-each-ref` and a copy of that same output but with a minor textual transformation applied. To do so, it employs a subshell and commands `cat` and `sed` even though the same result can be accomplished by `sed` alone (without a subshell).
