The primary motivation here is to fix TMP_DIRECTORY cleanup prior to
running each test when the current working directory is not the test
subdirectory. Tests with failures would leave their TMP_DIRECTORY
directory behind for debugging, and repeated out-of-tree test runs
would have old temp directories. (This lead to e.g. T310-emacs.sh
hanging because emacs would prompt for overwriting files.)
We remove the likely anyway defunct --root test option while at it,
just to be on the safe side when doing 'rm -rf' on the TMP_DIRECTORY.
As the names depend on the tests' file names, it is safe to
run the tests with this option in parallel.
---root=<dir>::
- This runs the testsuites specified under a separate directory.
- However, caution is advised, as not all tests are maintained
- with this relocation in mind, so some tests may behave
- differently.
-
- Pointing this argument at a tmpfs filesystem can improve the
- speed of the test suite for some users.

Certain tests require precomputed databases to complete. You can fetch these
databases with
