To be honest, it wouldn't matter what are the keys selected for testing this behavior. I'm only using references.format because it was the first that I implemented. But given that, I can also change their order to something like:

[1/5] repo: declare the repo command [2/5] repo: add the field layout.bare [3/5] repo: add the field layout.shallow [2/5] repo: add the field references.format [5/5] repo: add the --format flag

This way, this tests could be placed in 3/5 and using layout.bare and layout.shallow as keys.

Thanks!
