Subject: [GSoC PATCH v2 1/1] t1420: modernize the lost-found test

From: Andrew Chitester <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2026 08:26:58 -0500

This test indirectly checks that the lost-found folder has 2 files in it
and then checks that the expected two files exist. Make this more
deliberate by removing the old test -f and compare the actual ls of the
lost-found directory with the expected files.
