I've made some good progress on revamping most of the test suite to
not require root or any gpg configuration
(lp:~mterry/deja-dup/test-reorg).  I'm not done yet, but I wanted to
ask about a test.

I've hit a test failure I don't understand in pathtest.py's
test_compare() test.  It ends up comparing two different Path objects,
which will always return False in Python when those objects don't
define a new __cmp__ or __eq__ or such.  And Path doesn't.

I don't know how this test, as written, is supposed to work.  Does it
make sense to you, Ken?
