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.
