I think the wording of description of test_must_fail is slightly
ambiguous. I read it to mean that:
Use test_must_fail only when you are testing to see if git will
segfault.
Rather than:
Use test_must_fail to be safe from git segfaults.
Perhaps the description should be updated to be a bit more clear?
