Wouldn't it make sense to change the second "grep" of output intended
for humans to test_i18ngrep while at it?

This comes from error("git upload-pack: git-pack-objects died with
error.") in unpack-trees.c, which is not i18n-ized yet. There's
another test in t5530 that does the same grep. I think we should leave
it as is until we mark the string for translation, then gettext poison
will spot it (verified) and we can fix it.

I don't understand the distinction you're making.  Isn't the message
intended for humans, and wouldn't changing that one line to
test_i18ngrep now save trouble later?  Tests are meant to check git's
intended behavior, not to exactly match its current behavior.
