Great, thanks.  I have no objection to being squashed, but I'm not sure
what you mean by bisection failures.  Does a test_expect_failure cause
problems for bisection?  It appears to be fairly common to introduce a
failing test case and later fix it, e.g. ce06461 then 751c597.  I'd just
like to understand any potential problems with what I did.

Cheers,
Toby.
