Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"61420" 61420]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="61420"
 Tests: Use `assertSame()` in `populate_network()` tests.

 This ensures that not only the return values match the expected results,
 but also that their type is the same.

 Going forward, stricter type checking by using `assertSame()` should
 generally be preferred to `assertEquals()` where appropriate, to make the
 tests more reliable.

 Follow-up to [60954].

 See #64324.
