"Add new test case to ensure git-merge reduces octopus parents when
possible" does exactly the same as "Add new test case to ensure
git-merge filters for independent parents", so I think you should drop
the later. Only the name of the test and the commit message differs, and
I think we want to avoid redundancy in the testsuite. ;-)
