Yeah, using "-v2" is definitely needed. It will put "[PATCH v2]" or
"[PATCH v2 1/1]" in the subject.

I am ok with '[Outreachy-Microproject]' even if it's a bit longer.

s/debug-friendly/debug-friendly output/ would be more clear.

There is "t0000" in the subject which is enough.

I am not sure it is a very good example. I would be ok with the commit
being a bit more verbose though.

We actually don't want that for most microprojects. On
https://git.github.io/Outreachy-21-Microprojects/ we ask it to be done
on only one test script.

No need to find a really old test script for this microproject as I
think some 'test -[def]' uses have been introduced not too long ago.
Thanks both,
Christian.
