Please keep me posted with any updates with exactly which command failed.
These comparison tests are intended to catch surprising interactions, but
are not very narrow. We'll need to know the exact failure spot, and the
failure could take a few forms:

* The git command failed with an error.

* The midx-enabled and midx-disabled commands differ in output.

Between these two options and the different commands that could have failed,
it's hard to dig in without more to go on.
