You might also want to affirm that it does not just fail, but still
creates a branch, like:

  test_expect_success 'git branch -v <name> creates a branch' '
         git rev-parse HEAD >expect &&
         git branch -v foo &&
         git rev-parse foo >actual &&
         test_cmp expect actual
  '
