Based on your responses, I'm leaning towards:

  test_cmp_str() {
	test "$@" && return 0
	echo >&2 "command failed: test $*"
	return 1
  }

since the point is really just to print _something_ when the test fails
(any quoting or whitespace may be wrong, of course, but that's OK; it's
for human consumption, and is just a hint).
If we really cared, we could do

	echo >&2 "command failed: test $(git rev-parse --sq-quote "$@")"

perhaps?
