I case it helps, attached is the output from

% cd test && ./T460-emacs-tree.sh

Note that the tests do need to be run from that directory.

The two new tests that actually use emacs are failing with output:

*ERROR*: Wrong number of arguments: (1 . 1), 0

Running the tests interactively (just eval testl-lib.el first) suggests
that is output from set-mark-command (in emacs 26.1, it demands at least
one argument).

I'd leave namespacing of existing code for a new series if you're
motivated to work on that. For your new code, I think it makes most
sense to have it in the patch that introduces the code.

My mistake, I assume everyone read

For series, probably the former. For single patches, or updates to the
single patches in the series, the latter.

Thanks!
