Good suggestion. I rarely (if ever) use "-x" myself but another useful thing to know, while learning how the existing test works (i.e. studying a working test, not debugging a broken test) is to use "-d", possibly together with "-v", which refrains from removing the trash directory. Then you can go in and examine the state of the test repository the tests left. Thanks.
