Ah, thanks for coming up with this tricky case. I'm leaning towards simply ignoring it, since (at least for my usage of git) it's very uncommon; if I use "-x make test" to check all commits, I almost always do that in place, so I won't get conflicts.

But it's one more argument for adding the information to git status, I suppose.
