It was quite surprising to see this sorting only 'output' but not
'expect'. I see now that 'output' is already "sorted" (in that sense),
but it feels fragile. More robust would be to sort 'expect' as well:

    printf ".git\nfatal: Needed a single revision\n" | sort >expect &&

Following Dscho's recent objection elsewhere that tests tend to check
for much more than regressions, wouldn't it be logical to write these as

	grep -F .git" output.txt &&
	test_i18n_grep "Needed a single rev" output.txt

without an 'expect' file at all?
