Grrrr. The author of diff-test 60 has a nice sense of humor it seems
;-). The merge in that test changes a lot of lines, but the size of file
3449_spurious stays the same. I didn't realize this until now. BTW, with
the bad kernel, I've once seen special-test 21 (update_symlink) fail as
well. Same reason I guess, a symbolic link is supposed to be changed
from "link A/mu" to "link iota", so the file's size doesn't change and
commit does nothing at all.

I agree... until proven otherwise. ;-)
