Sorry, but I did not know I was resisting, as I didn't see any proposal to resist against in the first place. I was trying to help by mentioning two tricks that may be helping my test runtime that may help you as well. Are you proposing to replace the tests written as shell scripts with scripts in another language or framework that run equivalent sequences of git commands that is as portable as, if not more, Bourne shell? If that is what you are proposing, well, I won't stop you and I may even help you in there, but I fail to guess what alternative you have in mind. I certainly do not have a suggestion myself and I won't suggest migrate to tclsh or perl for that matter. If that is not what you are trying to propose, and if parallelism has already been employed, then there may or may not be other tricks you are not yet using that helps to speed up your shell execution that others are using---being confrontational is not an effective way to ask others about them.
