Why not give mk_test an optional parameter?

	repo_name=${1:-testrepo}

Oh, it is because mk_test already takes arguments naming refs to push.
I suppose the change description could make this clearer.

Why not use mk_test and then rename, like so?

	mk_test ...refs... &&
	mv testrepo testrepo-a &&

	mk_test ...refs... &&
	mv testrepo testrepo-b &&
	...

I dunno.  The helper functions at the top of this test are already
intimidating, so I guess I am looking for a way to avoid making that
problem worse.  One way would be to add an opening comment before
the function definition explaining how it is meant to be used.  See
t/test-lib-functions.sh for examples, such as test_cmp.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
