Is t9904 the right place for this? Usually t99xx is for very separate components.

This is sort-of about "commit", which would put it in the t75xx range. But in some ways, it is even more fundamental than that. We don't seem to have a lot of tests for ident stuff. The closest is the strict ident stuff in t0007.

Do we need this reprepare stuff at all now? The tests don't care which commit we're at when they start.

A shorter way of saying this is "test_commit foo".

I almost thought we could get rid of this part entirely; the commit tests don't care. But we do still need _a_ commit for the clone test, since we want to make sure a reflog is written. It would be nice to push it down there, but our test environment doesn't allow creating commits, because of of useConfigOnly. So it's probably fine to leave it here.

Technically, the final "commit" test does make a commit for us to push, but we do generally try to avoid unnecessary dependencies between the individual tests.

So all together, maybe:
