Yes, sorry I had it mixed up. Your generation_cutoff && ... approach
will work in that case.

The basic way is "rm -rf .git/info/commit-graph*" to be absolutely
sure (there might be an incremental commit-graph which appears as
a "commit-graphs" directory).

Ah. OK. They could be assertions within the same test since the
output is expected to be the same.
