The command proposed by Karthik (which is also part of your pipeline
above) does result in several matches in "t/", some of which are actual
good candidates for a micro project. Did you scan through these matches?
The microprojects page at [2] should give you a good idea for what to be
on the lookout for as it explains the issue as well as highlighting some
patterns to watch out for.
