Unfortunately, this seems to reveal existing other problems with
subtree tests (t7900), in addition to diff-highlight tests (t9400)
in various configurations.

This Ci run is near the tip of 'seen', so there may be breakages
attributable to new topics in flight, but I suspect that many of
them are already in 'master', noticed by nobody because nobody ran
these tests in these configurations (like "breaking changes",
"sha256", "leaks", "reftable", "asan").

I didn't look into the details of any of these (yet).

I didn't look into CI failures but spotted an easy one by
eyeballing.  As we seem to be lacking a dedicated subsystem
maintainer for this tool, I am CCing those who have touched this
test file during the past 24 months, plus our resident reftable
expert.

The subtree tests seems to be badly broken, so for now I've enabled
the contrib tests at CI to only linux-TEST-vars job (which seems to
be passing) and *-breaking-changes jobs.

Help by those who are more familiar with subtree is very much
appreciated.  Start by looking at failures in

Thanks.
