+--no-bin-wrappers::
+ By default, the test suite uses the wrappers in
+ `../bin-wrappers/` to execute `git` and friends. With this option,
+ `../git` and friends are run directly. This is not recommended
+ in general, as the wrappers contain safeguards to ensure that no
+ files from an installed Git are used, but can speed up test runs
+ especially on platforms where running shell scripts is expensive
+ (most notably, Windows).

--root=<directory>::
Create "trash" directories used to store all temporary data during
testing under <directory>, instead of the t/ directory.
'.stress-<nr>' suffix, and the trash directory of the failed
test job is renamed to end with a '.stress-failed' suffix.
+--stress-limit=<N>::
+ When combined with --stress run the test script repeatedly
+ this many times in each of the parallel jobs or until one of
+ them fails, whichever comes first.

You can also set the GIT_TEST_INSTALLED environment variable to
the bindir of an existing git installation to test that installation.
You still need to have built this git sandbox, from which various
for the index version specified. Can be set to any valid version
(currently 2, 3, or 4).
+GIT_TEST_PACK_SPARSE=<boolean> if enabled will default the pack-objects
+builtin to use the sparse object walk. This can still be overridden by
+the --no-sparse command-line argument.

GIT_TEST_PRELOAD_INDEX=<boolean> exercises the preload-index code path
by overriding the minimum number of cache entries required per thread.

+ This is often seen in modern UNIX but some platforms lack it, so

+ only up to 99 lines.
