In general you should add tests in the same commit as the code changes 
that they test. In this instance I think you want to split this patch 
into three, one patch for git-daemon, one for imap-send and one for the 
merge marker config changes. Each patch should have a commit message 
explaining the changes and whether they change the behavior of the code 
(for example rejecting non-numbers) and add some tests. Note that I 
don't think it is possible to test the imap-send changes but the other 
two should be easy enough. The tests should be added to one of the 
existing test files that are testing the code being changed.

I'm not sure that's necessary so long as you explain the reason for the 
changes in the commit message.
