Resending this email because the previous email did not seem to reach gitgitgadget's PR and the mailing list. T3501 contains two test cases where we used to check if a file exists using test -f which is not necessary because we already have helper function for it. In fact in one test case test -f is redundant because we grep right after it. Also the use of git rev-parse can cause segfault. This patch tries to resolve these two issues in T3501.
