I am guessing that the reason why you do not unset GIT_TEST_LONG upfront
in the script is because the user can do:

        $ GIT_TEST_LONG=t; export GIT_TEST_LONG
        $ ./t9999-this-test.sh
        $ ./t9999-that-test.sh

or even:

	$ GIT_TEST_LONG=t make test

Yes, that's the idea.

If that is the case, however, I wonder if this --long-tests option is even
necessary.

It's very convenient for development, where you go back and forth
between "./t9503-gitweb-Mechanize.sh -v -l" and
"./t9503-gitweb-Mechanize.sh -v".  All it takes is to add or remove
the "-l" at each invocation.  So I think the switch is actually quite
useful.

Heh, one-shot export "GIT_TEST_LONG_t ./t9999-this-test.sh" would equally
be swift, but Ok.
