Re: [PATCH 1/4] test-suite: adding a test for fast-export with tag variants

OK, I see now that the previous patch-series has been merged to "pu".
Is there a reason why this updated patch-series hasn't superseded it?

Even if the tested program crashes, it is Ok to test them inside
expect_failure, so I'd suggest not commenting the first two out.

But running the tests with the first patch applied to the same base as
where v1 was applied gives this, which is a more serious issue:

    $ sh t9301-fast-export.sh 2>&1 | tail -n 2
    * still have 4 known breakage(s)
    * failed 6 among remaining 15 test(s)

In other words, the changes to the set-up part seem to break unrelated
tests.  Why can such an update supersede the previous one?
