I like the simple and powerful test suite used by Git and I would like
to use something like that in Notmuch project (http://notmuchmail.org/).

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?

Or better yet improve git test suite, so when passed --tap parameter
it would produce TAP output, instead of its own report format.  And
send patches here.
