Really? I assumed 25.2 was going to fork from current master.

Sure, I understand that. I was thinking of the situation where a new
file is added to emacs-25, merged to master and then more tests are
added (i.e. the new files is subsequently updated). As you say, the
addition of a file into two places is not so bad. But it would be nice
if subsequent updates to the file worked.

I'm at the limit of my git knowledge, I fear.
