Yeah, contrib is a bit of a wildcard. Most things do not have tests.
Completion tests run as part of the main test suite (which to me means
that completion should arguably be promoted out of contrib). Subtree
carries its own tests that build on the test suite, but do not run all
the time.

If remote-hg is going to live in contrib, it probably makes sense to
have its tests live there, too, like subtree. It means less test
exposure, but the robustness of the tests does not have to be as high.
You could also have no tests, but since you have them, it seems silly
not to include them. People know that items in contrib/ may not be as
mature as the rest of git.
