Maybe it's a bad reason, but I wanted to replicate the behavior that git stash expects -- it writes to a ref outside of refs/heads/. I thought it'd be good to exercise that same machinery since it will involve different code paths.

I can reroll this patch so that 2>error becomes >error 2>&1.

test_must_be_empty would be a good fit here. That said, none of the other tests in this file use test_must_be_empty.
It might be worth doing a follow-up patch that converts all of the tests in this file to use test_must_be_empty instead of test -z "$(cat error)". I'll reroll.
