When you reroll, it might be a good idea to explain _why_ we don't
want to run code outside of `test_expect_success`: in particular, if
such code fails for some reason, we won't necessarily hear about it in
a timely fashion (or perhaps at all). By placing all code inside
`test_expect_success` it ensures that we know immediately if it fails.

It's completely outside the scope of this particular patch, but
another modernization which could be done in a separate patch (or a
separate patch series -- it doesn't need to be part of this series)
would be to take advantage of `write_script` which eliminates some of
the boilerplate-work that the above code is doing. For instance:
write_script fakeeditor <<-\EOF
cp "$1" actual
EOF
Notice that `write_script` takes care of emitting the `#!/bin/sh` line
and the `chmod +x`.
