Hmm, that is ugly. Depending on where in the subshell the previous
test failed, you'd still be taking us to an unexpected place.
Imagine if "git commit -m 'add error'" failed, for example, in the
test before this one.
I am wondering if the proper fix is to merge the previous one and
this one into a single test. The combined test would
- remember where the HEAD in super is and arrange to come back
to it when test is done
- break .gitmodules and commit it
- run test-tool and check its output
- also check its error output
in a single test_expect_success.

If we want to be more robust, you'd probably need to find a better
anchoring point than HEAD, which can be pointing different commit
depending on where in the subshell the process is hit with ^C,
i.e.
ORIG=$(git -C super rev-parse HEAD) &&
test_when_finished "git -C super reset --hard $ORIG" &&
(
cd super &&
...
The patch is still an improvement compared to the current code,
where a broken test-tool that does not produce expected output in
the file 'actual' is guaranteed to leave us at a commit that we do
not expect to be at, but not entirely satisfactory.
