Nicely described.

"git help cli"; dashed options first and then other arguments.

Hmph, is the above a roundabout way to say

		git -C explicit-hash-$hash rev-parse one >in &&

or am I missing some subtlety?

When this test fails (e.g., the number of lines in the show-index
output is not 1), explicit-hash-$hash is not removed, because &&-
chain short-circuits.

Perhaps join thw two into one and use test_when_finished, like this?

	test_expect_success 'show-index with explicit --object-format=$hash outside repo' '
		test_when_finished "rm -fr explicit-hash-$hash" &&
		git init --object-format=$hash explicit-hash-$hash &&
		...
                nongit git show-index --object-format=$hash <"$idx" >actual &&
		test_line_count 1 actual
	'

Other than that, very nicely done.

Thanks.
