Personally I prefer to run prove instead, because the output is less
verbose, and there's a nice summary at the end:

  prove t[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]-*.sh

I also like "prove" better (well, I added the support for it, so
...). It's generally better to use e.g.:

    make test DEFAULT_TEST_TARGET=prove GIT_PROVE_OPTS="--jobs $(nproc)"

Or just add "-j$(nproc)" to ~/.proverc so you don't need to specify
GIT_PROVE_OPTS every time.

Since we do some basic checking via the Makefile that effectively form a
part of our tests.

FWIW for your one-liner it can be just:

    prove t[0-9]*.sh

Alex: You might also find that if you specify --root as the path to a
ramdisk the tests are much faster, e.g. on my Linux boxes I set
--root=/run/user/`id -u`/git.

Or TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=/tmp/git.
