I think it's too much work to expect that the tester removes
all but a small number of refs for testing here. Using all
refs on a repo with may refs would be too slow to be helpful.

This is especially important when running the entire perf
suite on a repo where a large number of refs is _desired_
for some of the other tests.

A full test_cmp is a little more annoying to write, but
is a stronger test, so sure.

You missed this in the commit message:

(And I see the "timestampes" typo now.)
