Okay, I just did used the wonderful "git bisect run" to find out where this error started happening. The answer appears to be in the first commit the tests appeared in: 1ed10b886bc69c129c06772ee4310c00e001657f

I dislike that immensely. Can anyone help me figure out why the test fails? There is no error message printed. I thought the "HEAD points to an unborn branch" was the error, but that doesn't seem to be it.

Again, the test results are below.
