What caused the new content on the staging branch? I only
pushed the once (to go to commit 6e7c2dcb50907aa) -- is some
other mechanism updating it? Looking at what it now seems to
point to it looks like it's being mirrored from the git.qemu.org
repo... Either we should turn that off, or tests need to be
pushed to git.qemu.org:staging (which might introduce a delay
if the mirror isn't immediate)...
