I thought instead we wanted to support the following workflow:

$ (cd child && echo content >file && git add file && git commit -m one)
[normal commit output]

Which is what the testcase tests. E.g., we want to support cloning an
empty repo so that the user can then _push_ to that repository to make
it non-empty, no?
