Thanks.  I reviewed this by looking at what Junio queued in pu; it
looks very good.  With the following patch, it passes tests.

The use of "return" was surprising.  It seems this style has been
intended to work ever since v0.99.5~24^2~4 (Trapping exit in tests,
using return for errors, 2005-08-10).

It interacts poorly with test_when_finished but since these tests do
not use that function, they should be safe.  test_when_finished could
use some fixes to avoid future surprises but that's another story.

Subject: tests: avoid nonportable {foo,bar} glob

Unlike bash and ksh, dash and busybox ash do not support brace
expansion (as in 'echo {hello,world}').  So when dash is sh,
t6009.13 (set up dodecapus) ends up pass a string beginning with
"root{1,2," to "git merge" verbatim and the test fails.

Fix it by introducing a variable to hold the list of parents for
the dodecapus and populating it in a more low-tech way.

While at it, simplify a little by combining this setup code with the
test it sets up for.
