Of course the other side of the coin is that having all tests about a single command (say, "git mailmap") in the same script for both in-repo and out-of-repo operations is also handy in a different way. I haven't found a good way to balance the two. Obviously duplicating the same test in two scripts (one collection for the same command, the other collection out-of repo operation of various commands) is something I really do want to avoid, so...
