We have a boilerplate text for this kind of error that saves a translation:

		res = error(_("options '%s' and '%s' cannot be used together"),
"--reset-when-found", "--no-checkout");

These should not use `git` in a $( ) subshell to avoid a case of "ignore
failure in upstream of pipe". Note that

	local file=$(git rev-parse ...) &&
	test_path...

would be wrong, too, for the same reason. But

	local file
	file=$(git rev-parse ...) &&
	test_path...

works as desired.

Looking at other cases where more than one git command is invoked by
test_when_finished, it seems that they are chained with '&&'. `git grepc
"&& git checkout main"` does find a few hits.

More cases of `git` in a subshell above and below. I notice that you are
mimicking existing practice in this file. I'm torn whether to change
this or not. After all, there are also a lot of cases in the file that
uses the correct pattern where the subshell is in a variable assignment.
