Perhaps just a taste in readability thing, but I would prefer to see them more like

	test_extra_arg_expect failure add nick url
	test_extra_arg_expect success rename origin newname
than misunderstanding-inviting "-f" that often stands for "--force".
Other than that, the whole series was a pleasant read.  Thanks.
