I was able to reproduce the problems on Debian (with busybox installed)
with:

  mkdir /tmp/bb
  (cd /tmp/bb
   bb=$(which busybox)
   for i in $($bb --list); do
     ln -s $bb $i
   done)
  PATH=/tmp/bb:$PATH make test TEST_SHELL_PATH=/tmp/bb/sh

The issue in t5703 is the sed call in get_actual_commits(). It's trying
to cut off the early (text) part of the file, and pass through the
binary goo of the packfile. Presumably busybox's sed isn't binary-clean.

Our usual strategy here would be to switch to perl, which is more
predictable about binary bytes.

We're also feeding this into a test-tool helper. It's possible that
helper could be made smart enough to replace both this sed invocation
and the one in get_actual_refs().
