When you run the test case a second, third, fourth time, the commit
times would be all different without test_tick. This is bad for
bugfixing when you need to inspect the test case repo a little
further. (When the commit times change, the commit ids change,
too.)
So setting the time and counting it artificially up is nice
to get the same SHAs over and over.
