New policy for tests:
* For subtests whose commands fail when the test succeeds, use
test_expect_success and shell negation (!). test_expect_failure is
to be used only for subtests that are known to be broken.
* Patches that introduce a subtest failure must change that subtest
to use test_expect_failure.
The reason for this change is to ensure that the test suite passes at
all times, even in the middle of disruptive rewrites spread over
several commits.

While rebasing David's conflict series on top of his new top/bottom
removal series, I found it very irritating and time-consuming to deal
with patches that intentionally broke the test suite. That won't
happen again with this policy in place.

This is the opposite of test_expect_success. If <script>
yields success, test is considered a failure.
- Example:
-
- test_expect_failure \
- 'git-update-index without --add should fail adding.' \
- 'git-update-index should-be-empty'
+ This should _not_ be used for tests that succeed when their
+ commands fail -- use test_expect_success and shell negation (!) for
+ that. test_expect_failure is for cases when a test is known to be
+ broken.
