Have you thought about using TAP (Test Anything Protocol) format for
your testsuite?  Its page (http://testanything.org) has a TAP-producing
bash library: http://testanything.org/wiki/index.php/Tap-functions

Yes, somebody has mentiond TAP on notmuch list. From a quick look at TAP
shell library it seems to me a bit more complex then git's library and
it also requires bash.

If we need to use some TAP-based tools, we could easily change the
output of git's library to conform to TAP. Right?

Another TAP-like option is wvtest:

It's LGPLv2.

Have fun,
