We generally avoid performing actions at the top-level of
the script (outside of a test_expect block) for two reasons:
1. The test harness is not checking and reporting if they
fail.
2. Their output is not handled correctly (not hidden by
default, nor shown with "-v").
Using &&-chains seems like it should help with (1), but it
doesn't. If either of the commands fails, we simply skip
running the follow-on test entirely, and the test harness
has no idea.
We can fix this by pushing that setup into its own block.
It _could_ go into the following test block, but since the
result in this case is used by multiple tests, it's more
clear to mark it explicitly as a distinct setup step.
