Thanks Junio, I'll try to do some testing with it later.

That's almost the case I used. The exact test to add to these,
without the '*' after a/, would be something like this (warning: cut
and paste):
+test_expect_success 'add confusion (4)' '

+
+ git ls-files >actual &&
+ test_cmp expect actual
+'
