We had this in "git merge" manual for eternity:
'git merge' <msg> HEAD <commit>...
[This] syntax (<msg> `HEAD` <commit>...) is supported for
historical reasons. Do not use it from the command line or in
new scripts. It is the same as `git merge -m <msg> <commit>...`.
With the update to "git merge" to make it understand what is
recorded in FETCH_HEAD directly, including Octopus merge cases, we
now can rewrite the use of this syntax in "git pull" with a simple
"git merge FETCH_HEAD".
Also there are quite a few fallouts in the test scripts, and it
turns out that "git cvsimport" also uses this old syntax to record
a merge.
Judging from this result, I would not be surprised if dropping the
support of the old syntax broke scripts people have written and been
relying on for the past ten years. But at least we can start the
deprecation process by throwing a warning message when the syntax is
used.
With luck, we might be able to drop the support in a few years.

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.
This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which continues to pass even after this patch.

There are quite a lot places where an output file is expected to be
empty, and we fail the test when it is not. The output from running
the test script with -i -v can be helped if we showed the unexpected
contents at that point.
We could of course do
>expected.empty && test_cmp expected.empty actual
but this is commmon enough to be done with a dedicated helper.

Checking and comparing the number of line in check.list and check.cvsCount
had been replaced by comparing both files line by line.
Rename the filenames to make clear which is expected and which is actual:
check.list -> list.expected
check.cvsCount-> list.actual

On some systems sed allows the usage of e.g.
sed -i -e "s/line1/line2/" afile
to edit the file "in place".
Other systems don't allow that: one observed behaviour is that
sed -i -e "s/line1/line2/" afile
creates a backup file called afile-e, which breaks the test.
As sed -i is not part of POSIX, avoid it.
