That's a valid point, indeed.

There is actually `test_create_repo` (see
https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.27.0/t/test-lib-functions.sh#L1145-L1159):
# Most tests can use the created repository, but some may need to create
# more.
# Usage: test_create_repo <directory>
test_create_repo () {
test "$#" = 1 ||
BUG "not 1 parameter to test-create-repo"
repo="$1"
mkdir -p "$repo"
(
cd "$repo" || error "Cannot setup test environment"
"${GIT_TEST_INSTALLED:-$GIT_EXEC_PATH}/git$X" init \
"--template=$GIT_BUILD_DIR/templates/blt/" >&3 2>&4 ||
error "cannot run git init -- have you built things yet?"
mv .git/hooks .git/hooks-disabled
) || exit
}
But I agree that few test scripts use it:
$ git grep 'git init' v2.27.0 -- t/ | wc -l
765
$ git grep 'test_create_repo' v2.27.0 -- t/ | wc -l
296
Ciao,
