You should have double-quotes around $@ here, but then you can just as
well abbreviate to

	for pat

and you don't need the 'test -z "$*' check anymore.

Hmm, actually the quotes wouldn't help, because it currently reads

-	for skp in $GIT_SKIP_TESTS
-	do
-		case $this_test.$test_count in
-		$skp)
-			to_skip=t
-			break
-		esac
-	done

so the splitting already happens, and in fact needs to, so that one can
pass multiple patterns.  Or am I missing something?

But the 'for pat' with implicit $@ sounds nice regardless, thanks.
