Well explained.

Please add your sign-off.

A more common way to do this in our test scripts is by using here
documents. However, in this case I would suggest

	test_write_lines ABC DEF XXXX YYYY GHIJK >horse

instead. The equivalent applies to the 'expected' file below:

Should this not be a

	test_when_finished "git rm -f horse"

at the beginning?

Otherwise it looks really good to me.
