On my system the difference is 43 seconds vs. 30 seconds.

We lose the ability to easily spot which of the subtest is failing
if we do this. I.e. instead of:

...
PASS: input_validation_tests.py 19: non-working copy paths for 'status'
FAIL: input_validation_tests.py 20: non-working copy paths for 'patch'
PASS: input_validation_tests.py 21: non-working copy paths for 'switch'
...

all we'd get is:

FAIL: input_validation_tests.py 1: inavlid wc and url targets

Is there a way of keeping these as individual tests but also
avoiding the overhead of creating a repository and a working copy?
If there isn't I would prefer to just leave this as it is now because
I prefer the current output.
