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!
