Re: [PATCH 6/7] test-lib: make --verbose output valid TAP

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason  [off-list ref] writes:

Replace it with a simple method for ensuring that we have valid TAP
both on stdout, and in any verbose output we write. When we detect
that we're running under "prove" we prefix all legitimate TAP
directives with "GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED":

    $ GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED=1 ./t5547-push-quarantine.sh
    GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED ok 1 - create picky dest repo
    GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED ok 2 - accepted objects work
    [...]
    GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED 1..6

Ah, OK, so these perl scripts that use Test::More think they are
emitting TAP, but because the prefix is not added to any of their
output, they are not considered to be a tap output at all.

So did the "external" tests lose a lot of value with this change?
They used to point out individual breakage, but now it is just
"passed as a whole (or not)" boolean?
