It does not add much value to follow the "existing" outdated style
like this when you are only adding new tests.  Write these like

        cat >ls-files.expect <<-\EOF &&
	100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0	one
	100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0	three
	100644 e69de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 0	two
	EOF

which would give incentive to others (or yourself) to update the
style of the existing mess ;-).
