It is preferrable to have all of the above inside the
test_expect_success block that uses them.  

Also lose the SP between redirection operator and its target
filename, i.e.

	command >file

not

	command > file

Use sane_unset from t/test-lib-functions.sh instead, unless you are
absolutely sure that the variable you are unsetting _is_ set at this
point.

Is the output we are grabbing with check_detached from the command
internationalized?  If so, the comparison should be done with
test_i18ncmp (otherwise, the test will break under the "poisoned
gettext" build).

Thanks.
