				* A shell that supports `$(command)`` syntax for command substitution is now
				required for running the test suite. The test runner normally uses
				`sh`, so if that is a shell that doesn't support `$(command)` syntax,
				you can override it by setting `$HGTEST_SHELL` or by passing it to
				`run-tests.py --shell <shell>`.
