No, that should work (and it does work here). I assume you can pass
t0000 without --valgrind?

Yes.  Here's the output from running it with --valgrind.  I'm digging
deeper to see what went wrong.

make_valgrind_symlink:6: permission denied:
/home/artagnon/src/git/t/../git-instaweb
./test-lib.sh:487: no matches found:

That's certainly odd. It sounds like the valgrind setup is broken for
you. Can you run:

  sh -x t0000-basic.sh --valgrind

and see what's happening near those weird errors?

test_cmp:1: command not found: diff -u

Lack of diff is going to be a problem. What OS is this? Do you really
not have diff? Or is there something funny going on with your PATH?
