The test prepares a sample file "dir/two" with a single incomplete
line in it with "printf", and also prepares a small helper script
"diff" to create a file with a single incomplete line in it, again
with "printf". The output from the latter is compared with an
expected output, again prepared with "printf" hence lacking the
final LF. There is no reason for this test to be using files with
an incomplete line at the end, and these look more like a mistake
of not using

printf "%s\n" "string to be written"

and using

printf "string to be written"

Depending on what would be in $GIT_PREFIX, using the latter form
could be a bug waiting to happen. Correct them.

Also, the test uses hardcoded #!/bin/sh to create a small helper
script. For a small task like what the generated script does, it
does not matter too much in that what appears as /bin/sh would not
be _so_ broken, but while we are at it, use write_script instead,
which happens to make the result easier to read by reducing need
of one level of quoting.
