Re: How to re-use setups in multiple tests?

I'm wondering if there's a pattern for re-using setups across several

I need the setup to actually be re-run, for each test to start from a 
clean slate, so using the following doesn't work as the setup is just 
run before the first test.

We typically do the clean up phase explicitely.  Or avoid it.

Example: you want to do something to a branch, but the next step should 
use the original state of the branch.

Solution: "git checkout -b new-branch HEAD~5"

Sorry, unless you are a little less mysterious about the exact use case 
you have in mind, I cannot help more.
