If we are reasonably sure that we will not be needing to change these test
vectors (and because "git apply" is now solid, I think we are), I think
the best way to address this is to prepare a new t/t4109 directory, store
the expected output in there, and compare output from "git apply" that is
being tested with the precomputed test vectors.
