That looks fine -- the git scripts that use Git.pm are still tested
separately, so even if this test is skipped, Git.pm can be assumed to
not be broken.

I don't think checking for 5.6.2 (which is the version in which
Test::More was added) is actually necessary.  If someone installs
Test::More on an older Perl version, we might as well run the tests --
apparently Git.pm works even with older versions, since
t3701-add-interactive.sh seems to work fine for Linus.

Johannes, I'd actually be a little pleased if you either

- stop "actively warning" and start actively sending patches, or
- spare the list (and in particular, my mailbox) your whining.

TIA.
