Thanks for explaining what changed since the previous attempt. It is
also helpful for reviewers if you include a reference to the previous
iteration, like this:
https://public-inbox.org/git/450140f4-d410-4f1a-e5c1-c56d345a7f7c@xxxxxxxx/T/#u

Cc:'ing reviewers of previous iterations is also good etiquette when
submitting a new version.

Typically, it's easier on Junio, from a patch management standpoint,
if you submit all these related patches as a single series.
Alternately, if you do want to submit those changes separately, before
the current patch lands in "master", be sure to mention atop which
patch (this one) the additional patch(es) should live. Thanks.

You probably ought to add this new option to the command synopsis. In
the git-commit man page, the synopsis mentions only '-e' (not --edit),
so perhaps this man page could mirror that one. (Sorry for not
noticing this earlier.)

Modern practice is to perform these "expect" setup actions (and all
other actions) within tests themselves rather than outside of tests.
However, consistency also has value, and since this test script is
filled with this sort of stylized "expect" setup already, this may be
fine, and probably not worth a re-roll. (A "modernization" patch by
someone can come later if warranted.)
