Given that Junio objected to this "verbose test", maybe you want to remove the "verbose"? Or introduce a `test_assert_equal` of the form

```sh
test_assert_equal () {
    test "a$1" = "a$2" || {
        echo "$1 != $2" >&2
        false
    }
}
```

Hmm. Now that I think about it, `test_eq` is probably a better name, still.

For the sake of having better reporting, say, in Continuous Integration (where re-running tests via `sh -x t????-*.sh -i -v` -- as Junio suggested -- is not an option), I agree that it would be good to report the non-matching strings.
