Thinking a bit more about this, this test uses two identical hooks, runs
some commands and verifies that "the" hook was run (or not, with
--no-verify). If the implementation started calling the wrong hook
(pre-commit / pre-merge) or both hooks, we wouldn't notice.

Please forgive my braindump below, I'm on the run so I'm just throwing
this out there:

Perhaps (first do some modernizing of this script, to protect various
setup steps, use "write_script", etc, then) make the existing hook a
tiny bit pre-commit-specific, e.g., by doing something like "echo
pre-commit >>executed-hooks", then at select places check "test_cmp
executed-hooks pre-commit" (against "echo pre-commit >pre-commit"),
"test_path_is_missing executed-hooks", and so on, coupled with some
"test_when_finished 'rm -f executed_hooks'". Then the tests added for
this series would use a very similar hook, appending and checking for
"pre-merge[-commit]", That should make us fairly certain that we're
running precisely the wanted hook, I think.
