The worst part is they can easily be cause of unintended breakage
due to mismerge.

Hmph, wouldn't the forcing with GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME
to 'master' be the right way to keep test coverage?  After all, the
primary goal is to prepare tests so that we won't lose coverage when
the fallback default of init.defaultbranch is switched to 'main',
and it is a secondary goal of much lessor importance to reduce the
number of hits from "git grep master t/".

Perhaps I should start to more aggressively drop topics from `seen`
that are not sufficiently reviewed?  The guiding principle ought to
be "unreviewed patches are not worth applying", but I have a feeling
that we have become more and more lax over time due to shortage of
quality reviews.  I dunno.
