I believe this instead should make both of you happy:

    diff --git a/t/t6050-replace.sh b/t/t6050-replace.sh
    index d638119750..2e3009f3cb 100755

            test "$_found" = "$_parent" || return 1
            _parent_number=$(( $_parent_number + 1 ))
         done &&
    -    test_must_fail git rev-parse --verify $_commit^$_parent_number

    +    test_i18ngrep "Needed a single revision" err
     }

     commit_has_parents ()

Note that the file has existing 4-space-instead-of-tabs issues.
