Convert "test -f" with "test_path_is_file" to give more verbose
test output on failure.

I thought the suggestion was either "replace with" or "convert
into", but the above looks a bit funny cross between them.  I'd
probably go with "replace".

Likewise, but the first part is already said in the title.  So

	Subject: t1300: replace "test -f" with "test_path_is_file"

	This way, the test will not fail silently, making it easier
	to diagnose.

or something like that, perhaps.

We see 130+ instances of this rather antiquated construct that
presumably avoids to compare an empty string with something else
using "test X = Y" tool.  It might have been a good idea in 2005 (I
do not remember why we started doing this), but perhaps it is time
to clean them up by listing it as another microproject idea for the
next year?
