And the reason why your pre-submission testing did not catch may be
because test_must_be_empty is broken? I wonder if this is a good
way forward to catch a possible bug like this.
Of course, if somebody was using the helepr for "must be either
missing or empty", this change will break it, but I somehow doubt
it. A program that creates/opens and writes an error message only
when an error is detected is certainly possible, and could be tested
with the current test_must_be_empty this way:
rm -f actual-err &&
git frotz --error-to=actual-err &&
test_must_be_empty actual-err
but then the last step in such a test like the above is more natural
to check if actual-err _exists_ in the first place anyway, so...
