I'm glad you and Junio were able to simplify this case!

I think the test is helpful, since it is not very complicated to set up.

The test you created for t0021-conversion.sh earlier was quite complicated
and required internal knowledge to get going. However, this test only uses
porcelain commands to trigger the conditional.

so having the test can prevent a future change from making that same
assumption.
