Sorry I just copy/pasted that from your version, yes indeed
s/test_create_repo/git init/ (a trivial thing, but they're 1=1
equivalent these days after a recent change of mine in
test-lib-functions.sh).

Yeah, in my split-up WIP there's a bit of that, in my split-up of them I
didn't find the end result harder to read, e.g. in
t/t5702-protocol-v2.sh it's mostly in different sections of the file,
first git://, then file:// and then http://, with some misc in-between,
having a t/t57*-protocol-{git,file,http}.sh didn't make things harder to
read.

A thing I do really often is to run some glob of tests, say I'm working
on git-fetch, and run *fetch*, I'd get this in the output:
[23:58:15] t5527-fetch-odd-refs.sh ......................... ok 121 ms ( 0.01 usr 0.00 sys + 0.72 cusr 0.38 csys = 1.11 CPU)
[23:58:15] t5535-fetch-push-symref.sh ...................... ok 90 ms ( 0.01 usr 0.00 sys + 0.14 cusr 0.02 csys = 0.17 CPU)
[23:58:16] t5536-fetch-conflicts.sh ........................ ok 180 ms ( 0.01 usr 0.01 sys + 0.28 cusr 0.07 csys = 0.37 CPU)
[23:58:16] t5539-fetch-http-shallow.sh ..................... skipped: no web server found at '/usr/sbin/apache'
[23:58:16] t5550-http-fetch-dumb.sh ........................ skipped: no web server found at '/usr/sbin/apache'
[23:58:16] t5551-http-fetch-smart.sh ....................... skipped: no web server found at '/usr/sbin/apache'
[23:58:16] t5554-noop-fetch-negotiator.sh .................. ok 3 ms ( 0.00 usr 0.00 sys + 0.07 cusr 0.02 csys = 0.09 CPU)
[23:58:16] t5537-fetch-shallow.sh .......................... ok 641 ms ( 0.03 usr 0.01 sys + 0.87 cusr 0.31 csys = 1.22 CPU)
[23:58:16] t5582-fetch-negative-refspec.sh ................. ok 564 ms ( 0.02 usr 0.01 sys + 0.77 cusr 0.32 csys = 1.12 CPU)
It's useful to know that a portion of the tests was skipped entirely,
whereas if we do git:// tests first, and then later http:// the loss of
coverage is silent (unless you run it individually under --verbose) or
whatever.
This is really useful for the http tests iin particular, it's really
common not to have apache installed.
