I do not see the point of your subtree branch, especially after 1f30551
(Set TEST_DIRECTORY, 2012-03-20) where it starts depending on files
outside its top-level directory. At that point, the tree ceases to be
viable as a standalone project.

I think it would make more sense, from the history viewpoint, to:

 - Stop the history of the "subtree" branch at commit d3a04e0 (Use Test
   Harness, 2012-01-29);

 - Create "for-upstream" branch that is a fork of 1.7.10 (when tagged);

 - On "for-upstream" branch, add all the files from d3a04e0 (Use Test
   Harness, 2012-01-29) to contrib/subtree, and record it as a merge
   between 1.7.10 and d3a04e0 (you can use subtree merge for this); and
   finally

 - Replay the commits between d3a04e0 and the tip of your current
   "subtree" branch on top of "for-upstream".

And then have me pull the "for-upstream" branch.

Further development after that point can continue in-tree just like any
other contrib subsystems like "completion/" and "fast-import/git-p4".
