I think the tests should really be split up as their own preceding
commit, so we're assured that this "git rebase -x 'make test'"'s
cleanly.

Don't init to NULL?...

...because this will either die or return a valid string, and the init
is just suppressing compiler flow analysis, no?

Nit: The removal of strbuf_addch() here is bad, we try not to expose
translators to such formatting concerns, so let's leave the \n out of
the message still.

But more imporantly let's also split up the %s to '%s' change up, or
perhaps just drop it for now? Isn't it entirely unrelated?

I must admit I didn't spend too much time on the *actual* logic change
here, but nothing seems obviously incorrect...

Yeah this does seem a bit repetative...

E.g. here the mixture of "cd" and "-C" is a bit odd, can't we just use:

    git -C middle/bottom ...
    ...
    git -C middle add 

I also wonder if this can't be a for-loop with the right params

Maybe use grep -F with ${SQ} instead?
