Yeah, it's an eyesore indeed.

It intends to set a bunch of GIT_TEST_* variables, and since it has
test vars in its name, I'd say that it does a decent job at conveying
its intentions.

Seeing "linux-exotic", I would think of a job running tests on an
exotic Linux distro, or on an exotic platform... but it wouldn't
occur to me that it intends to set a bunch of GIT_TEST_* variables,
simply because there is nothing in its name to indicate that.
I think this patch makes things worse.
