-   This is the opposite of test_expect_success.  If <script>
-   yields success, test is considered a failure.

-   Example:
-
-       test_expect_failure \
-           'git-update-index without --add should fail adding.' \
-           'git-update-index should-be-empty'

+   to mark a test that demonstrates a known breakage.  Unlike
+   the usual test_expect_success tests, which say "ok" on
+   success and "FAIL" on failure, this will say "FIXED" on
+   success and "still broken" on failure.  Failures from these
+   tests won't cause -i (immediate) to stop.
