[PATCH 0/3] [RFC] tests: add test_todo() for known failures

["Phillip Wood via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

test_todo() is intended as a fine grained alternative to
test_expect_failure(). Rather than marking the whole test as failing
test_todo() is used to mark individual failing commands within a test. This
approach to writing failing tests allows us to detect unexpected failures
that are hidden by test_expect_failure().

This series attempts to keep most of the benefits test_expect_todo()
previously proposed by Ævar[1] while being simpler to use.
