Counting the places that were affected, I would not call which one is primary
change and which one is extra.  The later half of your patch is all about
test_must_fail isn't it?

I am all for making tests more careful, and I think more use of
test_must_fail makes quite a lot of sense.  Please don't do a half-ass job if
you are doing the conversion anyway.

About the commit log message, I tend to agree that your original subject
looked ugly and it would have been nicer to just say "t3404: more strict
tests for git-rebase" or something like that, but probably an empty commit
message body would have been Ok.
