So would I, and to complement Junio's answer: keeping a failure
followed by a repair means this experiment will appear more or less
forever in the output of "git log", "git blame", will break "git
bisect" on that part of history, and so on. Putting it on a separate
branch avoids this, and keeps it in a safe place to show newcommers:
"see, here's what you should not do" ;-).
