Could you also add something like
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1371
at the end of the commit message, to keep a reference to the original bug
report?

Phew. That was much smaller than I expected.

Nicely prepared for a new hash function, too (no explicit SHA-1).
I wonder, however, why we can't `git checkout -b bracket` and
`test_when_finished "git checkout master"` and void those many `-C repo`
options. But then, it is actually one of the shorter test cases, and
pretty easy to understand.
However, I would still like to see `test_tick`s before those `git commit`
calls, to make the commit names reproducible.
Thanks,
Dscho
