The tests for git-cat-file(1) are quite old and haven't ever been updated since they were introduced. They thus tend to use old idioms that have since grown outdated. Most importantly, many of the tests use `test $A = $B` to compare expected and actual output. This has the downside that it is impossible to tell what exactly is different between both versions in case the test fails. Refactor the tests to instead use `test_cmp`. While more verbose, it both tends to be more readable and will result in a nice diff in case states don't match.
