Sorry for the lack of clarity.  The proposal Stolee is pushing back on
above is to have a helper in test-lib-functions.sh that tells a test
whether an event it cares about happened in traces (in this example,
invocation of "git gc").

I consider it important because if we are getting into the habit of
having our tests assume the current exact byte-for-byte trace JSON
output, then that is an assumption that is going to be painful to
unravel.  Factoring out a helper would also make the test easier to
read, but that is less important than "an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" to me in this example.
