The test change only kind of tests the change in behavior and doesn't seem all
that useful.  However I'm not sure if its preferable to not even try and test
that something isn't output.

As the only objective of this patch is to stop showing that raw
format diff output, I think it is sensible to make sure that the
output no longer happens.

I have a feeling that this patch has some backstory?  It may be
necessary to summarize it in the log message to explain why this is
a good thing to do.

Your single quotes around the pattern are not doing what you think
they are doing.

Why not write this line like this instead?

	! grep "^:" default.log

Thanks.
