Pitfalls ahead!

Thanks.  I said "at least the latter" for this exact reason ;-).

	PATH=... git rebase ...

is OK, but

	PATH=... test_must_fail git rebase ...

is not; the latter requires the subshell, otherwise the modified PATH
variable survives the command because test_must_fail is a shell
function. Yes, it's silly, but that's how it is.

Or you could do

	test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git rebase ...

which I am not particularly fond of, but seems to be used quite
often.
