In that case, I think that you should rebase each commit based on
where it should go, and possibly split commits that touch different
paths.
At a higher level, things like this point to possible mistakes in
package splitting which should be fixed. In some cases they might
mean that a different split should happen, but in the case of the
racket tests I think that it's far too broad and should be taken as a
temporary package until all tests move out into their proper places.
Maybe Matthew decided to make it a separate package because of
this.
