The case is that a test introduced by me is running a dry-run before
it runs actual merge. This dry-run produces different kind of output
on the branch, and the test is failing for that reason (it validates
the output). And disabling dry-run doesn't affect to the actual test
case (which is still passing).

It was my fault, I developed the test (and tested it on the branch)
without --dry-run. At some point I have enabled it and forgotten to
test it again on the branch with dry-run enabled.
