Same note here about ordering Signed-off-by: and Thanks-to: lines as in
the previous patch.

I wondered why we needed a separate repo for this test, but I understand
now that we need to have a SHA-256 repository to test this on.

I'm still dubious as to the value of this test overall, but I think it
may be nice to s/repo/sha256-repo/ or something here to indicate its
purpose more clearly in the test itself.

I don't feel strongly about it, though.

Thanks,
Taylor
