From: Usman Akinyemi <redacted>

The exit code of the preceding command in a pipe is disregarded. So
if that preceding command is a Git command that fails, the test would
not fail. Instead, by saving the output of that Git command to a file,
and removing the pipe, we make sure the test will fail if that Git
command fails. This particular patch focuses on all `git show` and
some instances of `git cat-file`.
