I am about to resend "[RFC/PATCH] clone: add `--shallow-submodules` flag"
which would need tests and I thought about this series as tests.

I assume patch 2 (fixing a broken && chain in tests) made it through,
but patch 1 and 3 did not? I may pick up ideas from here as it will be
slightly different tests I'd guess.

This would break if the test suite is in a path containing any other white space
than U+0020 such as a tab? (Not that I am encouraging using such paths...)

Thanks,
Stefan
