(Tangentially: what's the accepted practice for submitting failing test

the expected way to do things on this list...)

We don't want commits that fail the test suite, since it makes bisection
more difficult. But you can mark known bugs like:

   test_expect_failure 'git-foo should output bar' '
	...
   '

I think it's OK to submit a patch like that. Hopefully somebody picks
that up and combines it with their fix patch, but if not, then it at
least documents the failure for later generations.
