Re: [PATCH 3/7] add a test for semantic errors in config files

The test fails at this point in history. I guess the problem will
disapear once you've put PATCH 2 at the right point in the series.

Another option is to mark the test as test_expect_failure when you
introduce it, and change it to test_expect_success when you fix it
(probably not applicable here, but it's a trick I find elegant).
