The 'basic' test uses 'grep -q' to filter the resulting possible
completion words while looking for the presence or absence of certain
git commands, and relies on grep's exit status to indicate a failure.

This works fine as long as there are no errors.  However, in case of a
failure it doesn't give any indication whatsoever about the reason of
the failure, i.e. which condition failed.

To make testers' life easier provide some output about the failed
condition: store the results of the filtering in a file and compare
its contents to the expected results by the good old test_cmp helper.
However, to actually get output from test_cmp in case of an error we
must make sure that test_cmp is always executed.  Since in case of an
error grep's exit code aborts the test immediately, before running the
subsequent test_cmp, do the filtering using sed instead of grep.
