implied by other options like --valgrind and
GIT_TEST_INSTALLED.
+--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
test_oid_init or test_oid_cache. Providing an unknown key is an
error.
+ - yes [<string>]
+
+ This is often seen in modern UNIX but some platforms lack it, so
+ the test harness overrides the platform implementation with a
+ more limited one. Use this only when feeding a handful lines of
+ output to the downstream---unlike the real version, it generates
+ only up to 99 lines.
