Good motivations.

Is this line needed anywhere?
We (perhaps unfortunately) still need $base_dir because we want to
give an absolute file:/// URL to "submodule add", but I do not think
we use $U, so let's get rid of it.

According to Documentation/CodingGuidelines, this should be:
test_alternate_usage () {
Somehow the helper name sounds as if it is testing if an alternate
is used correctly (i.e. the machinery may attempt to use alternate
but not in a correct way), not testing if an alternate is correctly
used (i.e. the machinery incorrectly forgets to use an alternate at
all), but maybe it is just me.

These are good (they can be on a single line), but you would
want &&-chain just as other lines.
> + test_line_count = 1 $alternates_file &&
This needs to quote "$alternates_file" especially in a helper
function you have no control over future callers of.
I wonder if we want to check the actual contents of the alternate;
it may force us to worry about the infamous "should we expect
$(pwd)/something or $PWD/something" if we did so, so it is not a
strong suggestion.

It is more customary to name two "expect" vs "actual", and compare
them using "test_cmp" not "diff".

Completely unrelated tangent, but after seeing the "how would we
make a more intelligent choice of the diff boundary" topic, I
wondered if we can notice that at this point there is a logical
boundary and do something intelligent about it. All the removed
lines above have become "test_alternate" we see below, while all the
removed lines below upto "test_alternate" correspond to the updated
test at the end.

This one is new; we do not remove A, B or super. Does it matter if
we leave super-clone behind? Is super-clone so special?
