I doubt it is wise to "test" that a program does _not_ produce a
correct output, or even worse, it produces a particular wrong
output.  This test, for example, casts in stone that any future
optimization that does not depend on the commit-graph is forever
prohibited.

Just dropping the test would be fine, I would think.
