The series was based on maint and fixes all the tests that exist
there, but we have acquired a few more.
I suspect that the values assigned in many of these places are $IFS
safe, and this is primarily to squelch the linter than adding a
necessary workaround for buggy dash.

For now my strategy is simple. Create two identical repositories one
in each format. Use fixed timestamps. Verify the dynamically computed
compatibility objects from one repository match the objects stored in
the other repository.
A general limitation of this strategy is that the git when generating
signed tags and commits with compatObjectFormat enabled will generate
a signature for both formats. To overcome this limitation I have
added "test-tool delete-gpgsig" that when fed an signed commit or tag
with two signatures deletes one of the signatures.
With that in place I can have "git commit" and "git tag" generate
signed objects, have my tool delete one, and feed the new object
into "git hash-object" to create the kinds of commits and tags
git without compatObjectFormat enabled will generate.
