Yeah, I'd agree that more clearly demonstrates the issue (I didn't check
that it actually triggers the failure, but presumably you did).

I think we could also construct a more elaborate example where we fail
to pick up an unreachable segment of history based on the mtime of a tip
commit found only in the alternate (whereas this is only testing that we
don't bungle the alternate filename so completely that prune barfs).
