According to t/README, test_must_fail() should only be used to test for
failure in git commands. Replace the only invocation of
`test_must_fail test_path_is_file` with `test_path_is_missing` since in
this test case, the path should not exist at all.

Here's another incorrect use of test_must_fail (not the only instance in
this file). Looks like we would need a "test_alternate_is_not_used" helper.

I suggest to drop this patch; it doesn't fit the theme of this series,
and if you attempt to do it right, you'll quickly find a deep rabbit hole.
