Yes, this really is four months later.  Somehow I forgot all
about this series.

Thanks, I will make this removal more explicit, putting it in
with 8/21 where it belongs, with explanation.

The first subshell is to hide P4CLIENT and cli variable changes
from the rest of the tests.

The second is to keep the "cd $git" from changing behavior of the
following "cleanup_git" call.  That does "rm -rf $git" which
would fail on some file systems if cwd is still in there.  With
just one subshell it would look like:

	(
		P4CLIENT=client2 &&
		git p4 clone .. &&
		cd "$git" &&
		... do test
		cd "$TRASH_DIRECTORY" &&
		cleanup_git &&

		cd "$git" &&
		... more test
	)

It's a bit easier to understand with an extra level of shell,
and sticks to the pattern used in the rest of the t98*.
