We try to keep the subject lines short (<80 chars, and as much as possible less so that "git log --oneline" be pretty).

How about
blame,cat-file: add failing tests for --textconv on symlinks

Since the actual problem is exhibited here, I think it is the best place to actually describe it.

These days, it's recommanded to put this kind of code within the test_expect_success/test_expect_failure.

echo -n is not very portable (and doesn't seem to be used in git's t/ directory). Better use

printf "%s" "one.bin" >expected
(again, within text_expect_failure if possible)
