These tests prepare the working tree & index state to have something to be committed, and try a sequence of "test_must_fail git commit". If an earlier one did not fail by a bug, a later one will fail for a wrong reason (namely, "nothing to commit"). Give them "--allow-empty" to make sure that they would work even when there is nothing to commit by accident.
