Most git commits are version bumps, which developers should be testing
anyway. So I'm not entirely sure how this would help. What would help
more is a dedicated machine, or vm, with a fresh install on it, so when
the spell is tested, it's against a clean install. This would ensure
that the same environment is used for all testing. Even a chroot would
probably work.
