6df42ab (Add global and system-wide gitattributes, 2010-09-01) forgot
to quote one instance of $HOME in the tests. This broke the test for
me with the shell complaining about an ambiguous redirect (but only
when run with --root for some reason).
Sounds like a similar breakage to what was fixed in 3fa7c3d (work around
an obnoxious bash "safety feature" on OpenBSD, 2010-01-26) to me.
Thanks.
