I lied; it turns out I still had access to an old VM. The problem did turn out to be rather silly. Here's a patch.

-- >8 -- Two tests recently added to t1410 create branches "a" and "a/b" to test d/f conflicts on reflogs. Earlier, unrelated tests in that script create the path "A/B" in the working tree. There's no conflict on a case-sensitive filesystem, but on a case-insensitive one, "git log" will complain that "a/b" is both a revision and a working tree path.

We could fix this by using a "--" to disambiguate, but we are probably better off using names that are less confusing to make it more clear that they are unrelated to the working tree files. This patch turns "a/b" into "one/two".

The line-diff is hard to read, but if anyone was looking for a chance to
test-drive contrib/diff-highlight, it does a good job of making the
change easy to see.
