Right, I left it because without this fsync the bug isn't triggered
and the reader could find it weird because shortly after there's a
'sync' call. So I wanted to emphasize that fsync's importance.

Good point, should have been more explicit. How about the following description?

"# Test file A fsync after moving one other unrelated file B between directories
 # and fsyncing B's old parent directory before fsyncing the file A. Check that
 # after a crash all the file A data we fsynced is available."

Thanks.
