Yes, that is indeed not so good.

The point is that, we should execute the APValue tests as well when we invoke 
`ninja check-clang-astmerge`. (Some people do not execute the whole 
`check-clang` verification when they change only the ASTImporter, this way the 
edit-test cycle can be faster)

Can we have a symbolic link from `test/PCH/APValue.cpp` to 
`test/ASTMerge/APValue.cpp`? Probably that would work on *nix, but not on 
Windows (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5917249/git-symlinks-in-windows).
If the symlink is really not an option then I am just fine with a real copy of 
the file.
If we have a link or a copy then the tests will run twice, that seems ok for 
me, but may disturb other devs.
Actually, this is an inconvenient problem, perhaps someone had this before, so 
maybe a mail to cfe-dev could help us out.
