t3310: avoid hiding failures from rev-parse in command substitutions
Running `git` commands inside command substitutions like test "$(git rev-parse A)" = "$(git rev-parse B)" can hide failures from the `git` invocations and provide little diagnostic information when `test` fails. Use `test_cmp` when comparing against a stored expected value so mismatches show both expected and actual output. Use `test_cmp_rev` when comparing two revisions. These helpers produce clearer failure output, making it easier to understand what went wrong.
