diff-highlight: prefer "echo" to "cat" in tests

peff · gitster · commit e28ae5072f63 · 2018-03-21T10:24:19.000-07:00
We generate a bunch of one-line files whose contents match
their names, and then generate our commits by cat-ing those
files. Let's just echo the contents directly, which saves
some processes.
