Some tweaks to simplify adding and running tests.

       git add file control_file &&
+       test_tick &&
       git commit -m "add line from b" &&
       git tag b &&

FWIW this looks like it could use Dmitry's "test-lib.sh: introduce 4th
argument to test_commit() specifying a tag name" patch. Maybe that
goes for most of these git add/tick/commit/tag combos, i.e. they don't
really need $commit_message != $tagname.
