Hi Junio,

Is there something that needs to be done here ?

Also, some tests still have both the `git subcmd -h` test outside and
inside together
and the first patch of this series already tests for all the outside repo.

Should I send them as an update version with this patch or wait till
this gets integrated ?

Thank you
