I agree with you two that test_must_fail may make sense with these
__git_foo helpers used in the completion.  It is a bit of shame that
there is no opportunity to leave the reasoning behind the decision
for later developers, other than in the discussion thread.

I agree that 3/8 is good as-is in this series.

Thanks.
