Before, testing if two refs weren't equal with compare_refs() was done with `test_must_fail compare_refs`. This was wrong for two reasons. First, test_must_fail should only be used on git commands. Second, negating the error code is a little heavy-handed since in the case where one of the git invocations within compare_refs() fails, we will report success, even though it failed at an unexpected point. Teach compare_refs() to accept `!` as the first argument which would _only_ negate the test_cmp()'s return code.
