Does this matter here at all? If cgit_url fails in any (unpredictable)
way, e.g. segfaults, it probably won't print the string "Unsupported
snapshot format" and the whole test case will fail. The Git test suite
itself also uses grep(1) with a pipe several times. I agree that we
shouldn't use pipes when inverting the result (looking for non-existent
patterns), though.
