Well, either it didn't work or you omited something critical (like
stderr):

    * expecting success: tree=$(git write-tree)
    * FAIL 5: writing tree out with git write-tree
	    tree=$(git write-tree)

that is too short. All the traces missing. Could you please retry
with

    sh -x ./t0000-basic.sh -d -v -i &> test_results.txt

? If that is what you actually did, I suspect you have a very broken
shell installed. Could you check if you have bash (bash --version)
and try it instead of "sh"?
