Near the tip of the 'pu' branch I
have a iffy workaround to "unbreak" the issue, but it is a rather
sledgehammer approach I do not feel comfortable enough to squash into your
patch yet.

I see. Perhaps

	echo -en 'y\ny\n' | ...

would be more gentle? (Noting that, how else should it be,
many a shell do not have -e/-n again.)

You can solve it with printf "y\ny\n", but the reason I said it feels
wrong was because your added tests are the _only_ ones that expect more
than one "yes".

If some _other_ tests that currently need only one "yes" are broken in the
future and starts asking for more than one, we would like to know about
the breakage, but we won't notice it if we unconditionally fed "yes | ..."
or your "two y's | ..." to them.  That is what I am unhappy about the
"iffy workaround".
