+       By default tests are run without dashed forms of
+       commands (like git-commit) in the PATH (it only uses
+       wrappers from ../bin-wrappers).  Use this option to include
+       the build directory (..) in the PATH, which contains all
+       the dashed forms of commands.  This option is currently
+       implied by other options like --valgrind and
+       GIT_TEST_INSTALLED.

+       testing under <directory>, instead of the t/ directory.

+       can massively speed up the test suite.
