[PATCH 2/4] Make t1300-repo-config resilient to being run via 'sh -x'

From: Johannes Schindelin <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:08:52
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

One of this developer's primary tools to diagnose broken regression
tests is to run the test script using 'sh -x t... -i -v' to find out
*which* call *actually* demonstrates the symptom.

Hence it is pretty counterproductive if the test script behaves
differently when being run via 'sh -x', in particular when using
test_cmp or test_i18ncmp on redirected stderr.

So let's use grep instead of test_cmp/test_i18ncmp to verify that stderr
looks as expected.
