Ah, so that explains why the next test fails when this one does.

I see, commit prints different output if you commit outside the current
directory -- you get the absolute path. So, it seems the chdir to the
subdirectory didn't work (I'm not sure how to tell if it fails, should
Python throw an exception?); the commit did work and printed out the
file without the full path info. Since the directory is created right
above the chdir and it does exist in the working copy (looking at it
posthumously)), it is starting to look like it could be a/the filesystem
race. Perhaps I will have some luck recreating this one. I'm so
excited.
