This "test" was copied from earlier in the file, but the description
was not updated; it has nothing to do with mailmap.blob tests for
which cleanup has already taken place.

It's also misleading since no .mailmap file exists at this point.
Instead, configuration key mailmap.file is set to
internal_mailmap/.mailmap, so if you need to clean up anything, it
would be that.

(You're also recreating .mailmap from scratch directly in your test
via "echo foo >.mailmap", so this "test" doesn't really add anything.)

s/Names/names/

Also, most of the test descriptions in this script start with
lowercase, so s/Test/test/ would be appropriate.

Git practice normally avoids whitespace after the redirection
operator. This particular test script, has a mix of ">foo" and ">
foo", but we may want to avoid adding more of the latter form.

Without context of the mailing list discussion, the reader does not
know what "trick" is or precisely how this may have failed in the
past. It's also not clear why the test is being performed with a
different email address entirely rather than one which differs only by
case (which is what the test description talks about).

> +       echo "asdf" > test2

Whitespace after redirection.

The comment can probably be dropped, as the new .mailmap entry is
self-explanatory.

> +       echo "A <A@example.org> <changed_email@example.org>" > .mailmap

Whitespace after redirection.

For consistency with more other tests, perhaps break the line apart:

  git shortlog -sne HEAD >actual &&
  test_cmp expect actual
