 Renaming of remote-testgit feels to be a mistake.  It probably
 should keep its source in remote-testgit.bash and generate it,

Why generate it? There's nothing to generate. python's source code
needs regeneration, bash's code doesn't.

We fix up the #!-lines on all of the existing shell scripts (as well as
python and perl). Wouldn't we want to do the same for people who have
bash in an alternate location?

As the series is now, people with bash in their PATH, but not in
/bin/bash, will fail t5801 (the prereq to skip the test uses "type", but
git-remote-testgit hardcodes /bin/bash).

We could improve the test in t5801, but it is nice to let people on such
systems test it, as well. And the infrastructure might be useful if we
ever acquire more bash scripts.

There's a fair bit of boilerplate, but I think this squashable patch
would do it:

Yeah, but I wonder what's the point of installing this script, it's
mostly for testing and reference, and to add a whole category for that
seems like overkill.

Cheers.
