We prefer to use imperative mode when talking about what a patch does,
as if the author were to give orders to the code base. So e.g.
instead of
This patch will ...
we would usually write something like this:
Replace 'test -(d|f)' calls in t3600 with the corresponding helper
functions.

The patch itself seems to be a straightforward application of
s/test -f/test_path_is_file/
s/test -d/test_path_is_dir/
so it looks good for the most part, but it has a few issues:
> test_expect_success 'Recursive with -r -f' '

These should rather use the test_path_is_missing helper function.
However, if the directory 'frotz' is missing, then surely
'frotz/nitfol' could not possibly exist either, could it? I'm not
sure why this test (and a couple of others) checks both, and wonder
whether the redundant check for the file inside the supposedly
non-existing directory could be removed.
Furthermore, there are a couple of place where the '!' is not in front
of the whole 'test' command but is given as an argument, e.g.:
test ! -f file
Please convert those cases as well.
