All of the above is duplicate and shouldn't be added to the message;
the recipient can pick them up from the e-mail headers.

Please explain what this change intends to do (e.g. Is it a fix?  If
so, what is broken without this change?  Is it an enhancement?  If
so, what cannot be done without this change, and how and why is the
new thing the change enables a good thing?), and why it is a good
idea to use "-m" to realize that objective.

It appears that the patch is severely linewrapped.

We do not do one-SP indent.  Indent with tab instead.

Do not use "touch" when the only thing you are interested in is that
the file exists and you do not care about its timestamp.  I.e. say

    >file.txt &&

instead.

What happens when any of these commands in the &&-chain fails?

	(
        	cd "$cli" &&
                >file.txt &&
		p4 ... &&
                for i in $(test_seq ...)
                do
                	>"outer$i.txt" &&
                        p4 ... &&
			for j in $(test_seq ...)
			do
				p4 ... &&
				p4 ... || exit
			done
		done
	)

or something like that, perhaps?
