git test failures.
During a rebuild after importing (after importing a new architecture
debian rebuilds the packages that were imported) git failed to build on
the armhf and s390x buildds with failures in the same tests. Namely "11
among 13 tests" in t9161-git-svn-mergeinfo-push.sh
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=git&suite=sid
When something fails in the same way on both armhf and s390x it's
generally indicative of a wider problem (since the architectures are
very different). So I tried building on amd64 and being lazy I did the
build as root. When I did this I got test failures relating to mktemp
(unfortunately I didn't save details of these.
I then tried on amd64 as nobody and got failed 7 among 15 tests in
t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh
I'm not filing a bug right now because I don't know enough about git and
it's testsuite to try and make sense of this and file a coherent report
but I thought you would appreciate notification of the problem.
