Then perhaps improve the tools now because these separate patches
enter 'master' and stay in the history forever. One of the problems I
have with separating tests from the actual code change is the
description of the problem often stays on the test commit, which I
can't see in git-log if I'm searching for the code change. And no
sometimes I can't just look at the parent commit if I filter code by
path (and with --full-diff)
