That's certainly an approach, and it's made easier when each test
creates its own repo (as the tests you write typically do).

In general. though, the majority of Git test scripts run all their
tests in a single repo (per test script), with the result that state
from a failed test is very frequently clobbered by subsequent tests,
which is why --immediate is so useful (it stops the script as soon as
one test fails, so the test state is preserved as well as it can be).
Due to the "clobbering" problem, I don't think I've ever tried
debugging a failed test without using --immediate.

I see what you're saying. Okay.
