I've done this to make sure that at any point in the git history, there is one
working test for the targeted feature, either the old or the new one. I've done
it this way because the old test also helped me validate the new one while
developing it, but also because if at some point there is a (major) issue with
the new test, reverting only the relevant commit brings back the old test while
disabling the new one.

But maybe this concern is not worth the trouble (especially since the old tests
are not run automatically) ? If that's indeed the case, I can do it the way you
are suggesting :)

Thanks,

Alexis
