Before, when we expected `git diff` to fail, we negated its status with `!`. However, if git ever exits unexpectedly, say due to a segfault, we would not be able to tell the difference between that and a controlled failure. Use `test_must_fail git diff` instead so that if an unepxected failure occurs, we can catch it. We had some instances of `test_must_fail test_dirty_{un,}mergable`. However, `test_must_fail` should only be used on git commands. Teach test_dirty_{un,}mergable() to accept `!` as a potential first argument which will run the git command without test_must_fail(). This prevents the double-negation where we were effectively running `test_must_fail test_must_fail git diff ...`. While we're at it, remove redirections to /dev/null since output is silenced when running without `-v` and debugging output is useful with `-v`, remove redirections to /dev/null as it is not useful.
