Replace "test -f" with test_path_is_file, which gives more verbose
and accurate output.
Does it? "test -f" is designed to be silent, while the helper
function is designed to be verbose to help debugging the tests,
but the accuracy of the latter simply rests on the former.

"test -f <path>" is not unclean. It just is that it is less helpful
than using test_path_is_file.
Subject: [PATCH] t1050: use test_path_is_file instead of "test -f"
Use test_path_is_file instead of "test -f"; this will help
when running the test with the "-v" option for debugging.
