The s/!/test_must_fail/ is just an "extra" like
 "Hey, you're currently standing, can you bring me some tea?"

In this case:
 "Oh, I'm currently adding some tests, so I can s/!/test_must_fail/"

Not exactly.
In the previous one I said, what my patch does: improve t3404.
The latter one said it, too, but a little more specific.

That's right.

The s/!/test_must_fail/ is, as I said, just an "extra".
And one that does no harm at all.

The others are tests that were useful during git sequencer prototype
development, because once a test in the middle of the test suite failed
because the branch was not correctly reset in one of the invocations of
rebase-i in the first tests.

Well, but I wonder if a long explanation is always necessary.
It is on feature patches and bugfix patches.  But here?

Regards,
  Stephan
