Thanks.  Has _this_ particular iteration of the patch been reviewed
by Dscho?  Otherwise ...

... this line is a bit problematic.  Just double-checking.

I am wondering if we want to be more strict about hiding error
return code from "git ls-files" and "git ls-tree" behind pipes
like these.  Usually we encourage using a temporary file, e.g.,

	...
	git ls-files -s script.sh >ls-files-output &&
	test_grep "^100755" ls-files-output &&
	...

> +	echo true >>script.sh &&

> +	grep "index.*100755" patch &&

Anchor the pattern when you know where it has to appear and what the
surrounding letters must be, e.g.,

	test_grep "^index .* 100755$" patch &&

A test that expects a match with "grep" is silent when it fails, but
if you use test_grep, the output from "sh t4129-*.sh -i -v" gets
easier to view when the test fails, as it is more verbose and say
"we wanted to see X in the output but your output does not have it".

If you wanted to use test_grep here, the way to negate it is a bit
peculiar, i.e.

	test_grep ! "has type ..." err &&

It does not have as much value as the positive case, as "! grep"
that expects to fail would show the unexpected match.  In any case,
making sure this particular error message does not appear in the
output is a good way to test it, instead of insisting that the
output is empty, since we may add output to the standard error
stream for unrelated reasons to issue warnings, etc.

Why not "git reset --hard" here?  Just being curious why we want to
waste two invocations of "git restore".
