use test(1) -eq and -ne to compare integers, and reduce quoting
This brings the rest of the regression test scripts in line with patch.sh.
explicitly set the default branch name after 'git init' in regress tests
We need to do this because newer versions of Git support an arbitrary default branch name which can be set by users. We don't want tests to fail when this option is used. pointed out by Thomas Adam
ensure that old commits remain referenced after rebase and histedit
Create automatic "backup" references which ensure that objects from the pre-rebase or pre-histedit state remain in the repository. A new -l option for 'got rebase' and 'got histedit' lists old commits. This makes it easier to recover from botched rebase or histedit operations. Removal of such objects currently requires got ref -d and git-gc. This will be made more convenient in the future. testing and ok jrick
add a -q option to tests for quiet output and use it for 'make regress'
Previous default output remains when test cases are run individually. ok tracey
