Sure. The lines in the commit description I think cover the actual
change pretty well:

"    # inode_test_xtimestamp_decoding: pass:16 fail:0 skip:0 total:16"

"# ext4_inode_test: pass:1 fail:0 skip:0 total:1"
"# Totals: pass:16 fail:0 skip:0 total:16"

Nevertheless, here's the complete output of the 'example' and
'rational' suites, which should give a more complete overview. (This
is with the default configuration of only printing out lines where the
number of subtests is >1)

TAP version 14
1..2
   # Subtest: example
   1..3
   # example_simple_test: initializing
   ok 1 - example_simple_test
   # example_skip_test: initializing
   # example_skip_test: You should not see a line below.
   ok 2 - example_skip_test # SKIP this test should be skipped
   # example_mark_skipped_test: initializing
   # example_mark_skipped_test: You should see a line below.
   # example_mark_skipped_test: You should see this line.
   ok 3 - example_mark_skipped_test # SKIP this test should be skipped
# example: pass:1 fail:0 skip:2 total:3
# Totals: pass:1 fail:0 skip:2 total:3
ok 1 - example
   # Subtest: rational
   1..1
   # rational_test: ok 1 - Exceeds bounds, semi-convergent term > 1/2 last term
   # rational_test: ok 2 - Exceeds bounds, semi-convergent term < 1/2 last term
   # rational_test: ok 3 - Closest to zero
   # rational_test: ok 4 - Closest to smallest non-zero
   # rational_test: ok 5 - Use convergent
   # rational_test: ok 6 - Exact answer
   # rational_test: ok 7 - Semiconvergent, numerator limit
   # rational_test: ok 8 - Semiconvergent, denominator limit
   # rational_test: pass:8 fail:0 skip:0 total:8
   ok 1 - rational_test
# Totals: pass:8 fail:0 skip:0 total:8
ok 2 - rational
