I'll make both of these changes. Test readability is important and
people shouldn't be wasting time thinking about test correctness.

This is a good point. I made the original change in response to Taylor's
comment, but I think we both didn't consider that this script assumes
`core.commitGraph` is `true`. The rest of the tests pass, but only
because the default value is true and I'd rather not have tests rely on
a happy accident.

Interesting thought. The marginal benefit here is much lower than in
patch [2/3]. The difference is that corrupt_midx_and_verify() uses an
additional $COMMAND to perform verification, but
corrupt_graph_and_verify() does not. The result is that
corrupt_midx_and_verify() is subtle and confusing when used in separate
tests, but corrupt_graph_and_verify() is not so bad.

Yes, and we also lose the test labels that would guide the reader. It
might not be that obvious why the tests for a boolean value has 3
cases {true,false,unset}.
Taking churn into account, I'm inclined to keep the tests separate.
