What does the '!false || echo >bad' do?

Ideally we want this test to be super robust: e.g. if it runs the
command but from a different directory, we still want the test to fail,
and if it runs the command but using exec instead of a shell, we still
want the test to fail.

Maybe write_script would help with this.  E.g. would something like

	test_when_finished ... &&
	write_script must_not_run.sh <<-EOF &&
	>$TEST_DIRECTORY/bad
	EOF

	git -C super config -f .gitmodules submodule.submodule.update \
		"!$TEST_DIRECTORY/must_not_run.sh" &&
	...

work?

Thanks,
Jonathan
