If you think it's easier to maintain like this then by all means keep
it as it is. I was just wondering why it was like this, that's all.

The SLOOOOW part of running the git svn tests is definitely *not* the
tiny bit of shellscript required to execute each *.sh file :)

I don't know if this applies in this case but if you need fresh repos
for each tests you can usually do:

    test_expect_success 'test #1' '
        (test_create_repo one &&
        cd one &&
    	...)
    '

    test_expect_success 'test #2' '
        (test_create_repo two &&
        cd two &&
    	...)
    '

But I haven't looked at the svn_* functions you're using, so perhaps
that's not possible here.

Cool, good to know that it was helpful.
