What does this $p refer to?

If I were doing this, I'd prepare the list of paths (i.e. expect)
first and then create these paths using that list, i.e.

test_expect_success 'setup a tree' '
	cat <<-\EOF >expect &&
	fileA
	fileAB
	...
	sub/fileWrongLabel
	EOF
	mkdir sub &&
	while read path
	do
		: >$path &&
		git add $path || return 1
	done <expect &&
	git commit -m initial &&
	git ls-files >actual &&
	test_cmp expect actual
