And I asked you to postpone that in [ref] for
which I got no answer. I repeat it here for convenience:

For now, can we leave these patches as-is and then add additional tests
on top, please? I'm afraid that adding them now will force me to rewrite
current descriptions, as the result won't be minimal anymore, and I
feel uneasy about writing commit messages for these permuted tests
anyway.

I was expecting just one case I mentioned in the first message and
nothing else, which is crucial to highlight how --first-parent's
"implication" works with explicit --diff-merges.

Full "permutated tests" was what you brought up in the discussion,
but I already said it was overkill to your response before you said
the above.  The "minimal" would be the posted patch plus a missing
"first-parent comes before --diff-merges=off" test filled in.
