[PATCH 0/3] tests: allow to skip git rebase -p tests

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

The --preserve-merges mode of the git rebase command is on its way out,
being superseded by the --rebase-merges mode. My plan is to contribute
patches to deprecate the former in favor of the latter before long.

In the meantime, it seems a bit pointless to keep running the git rebase -p 
tests, in particular in the Windows phase of the automated testing. In
preparation for skipping those tests, this patch series starts out by
decoupling test cases so that no non-rebase -p ones depend on side effects
of rebase -p ones, and it concludes by a patch that allows skipping the 
rebase -p ones by setting the environment variable GIT_TEST_SKIP_REBASE_P.

In a quick 'n dirty test, skipping the rebase -p tests seems to shave off
about 8 minutes from the 1h20 running time of the test suite on Windows
(without git svn tests, we skip them for a long time already, as they are
really, really slow on Windows).

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  t3404: decouple some test cases from outcomes of previous test cases
  t3418: decouple test cases from a previous `rebase -p` test case
  tests: optionally skip `git rebase -p` tests
