It seems I have to reword commit messages to avoid such an interpretation.
Because, the first commit does not break anything. It is to change the
tests for `git-subtree` "to show" that `git-subtree`s already tested
commands (almost) work correctly if there are spaces in paths (except
--rejoin-msg issue).
And the second commit adds missing tests and the fix.
Should I add/commit the breaking test first and then commit the fix?

I understand this issue with "cd" (I've just followed the existing t7900
tests "code style").
