Unlike the change to rev-parse, which I haven't decided if I like
it, this is definitely the right thing to do.

Thanks for catching.

This test is somewhat iffy; if you had it just before "git prune", I
would understand that it matches what the title of the test claims,
though.

Favor $(...) over `...`.

Please don't use "grep -q"; unless running the test with "-v", we
wouldn't have to see the output anyway.
