As a general principle, we should not use "git diff" to validate the
results of what git command that is being tested has done. We would not
know if we are testing the command in question, or locating a bug in the
cute hack of "git diff --no-index".
Rather use test_cmp for that purpose.

The following tests available:
- create subprojects: create a directory in the superproject,
initialize a git repo in it, and try adding it in super project.
Make a commit in superproject
- check if fsck ignores the subprojects: it just should give no errors
- check if commit in a subproject detected: make a commit in
subproject, git-diff-files in superproject should detect it
- check if a changed subproject HEAD can be committed: try
"git-commit -a" in superproject. It should commit changed
HEAD of a subproject
- check if diff-index works for subproject elements: compare the index
(changed by previuos tests) with the initial commit (which created
two subprojects). Should show a change for the recently changed subproject
- check if diff-tree works for subproject elements: do the same, just use
git-diff-tree. This test is somewhat redundant, I just added it for
completeness (diff, diff-files, and diff-index are already used)
- check if git diff works for subproject elements: try to limit
the diff for the name of a subproject in superproject:
git diff HEAD^ HEAD -- subproject
- check if clone works: try a clone of superproject and compare
"git ls-files -s" output in superproject and cloned repo
- removing and adding subproject: rename test. Currently implemented
as "git-update-index --force-remove", "mv" and "git-add".
- checkout in superproject: try to checkout the initial commit
