Upon reflection, there shouldn't be any junk files since this test is
creating a new repository and "file1" and "file2" are the only files
present. Apparently, I wasn't paying close enough attention when I
made the earlier observation.

Anyhow, the more restricted git-add invocation you used in the re-roll
is still preferable since it makes the intention obvious. Thanks.
