    When we run a test helper function in test_submodule_switch_common(), we
    sometimes specify a whole helper function as the $command. When we do
    this, in some test cases, we just mark the whole function with
    `test_must_fail`. However, it's possible that the helper function might
    fail earlier or later than expected due to an introduced bug. If this
    happens, then the test case will still report as passing but it should
    really be marked as failing since it didn't actually display the
    intended behaviour.
    
    Instead of invoking `test_must_fail $command`, pass the string
    "test_must_fail" as the second argument in case where the git command is
    expected to fail.
    
    When $command is a helper function, the parent function calling
    test_submodule_switch_common() is test_submodule_switch_func(). For all
    test_submodule_switch_func() invocations, increase the granularity of
    the argument test helper function by prefixing the git invocation which is
    meant to fail with t...
