Write a new commit-graph file for every test (slows things down). Or check if correct graph-file exists, and if it doesn't only then write a new commit-graph file (like I have proposed elsewhere in this thread). Barring this, I think it would be better if the preparation step was separated into a 'setup <something>' step, so that one can easier select which tests to run, at least by hand. > 2.
