I was thinking that it might be more concise if you moved the subshell
to the test and out of corrupt_rev_and_verify. In addition to making
corrupt_rev_and_verify work in other instances where the repository
isn't required to be in a directory named "corrupt", I think it
simplifies the result.

Here's what I was thinking, as a diff on top of this patch:

If you do take my suggestion, make sure to remember to come back in
patches 3/4 and 4/4 and adjust those instances of
'corrupt_rev_and_verify' to first change into "corrupt".
