W00t! Working unit tests to assert things, like "That kind works"

and "It doesn't die pathetically," and "It shows stuff."  Fix TOX
to not include you home directory, so now git_lint will only include
your home directory if one exists.

It turns out that shutils doesn't have 'which()' prior to Python3.
Buggeration.
