I'm wary of this because it also tests our SVN package, and makes sure
they work together. But I'm not completely opposed to it either. How
much time does it save?
When debugging the git build, I usually set #:parallel-tests? #t. So
far I haven't come across a failure related to that. I wonder if
<https://bugs.gnu.org/29512> is still relevant.
