Hi, while working on the Git CI integration I noticed that t5516 "75 - deny fetch unreachable SHA1, allowtipsha1inwant=true" (introduced in 68ee628) seems to be flaky on TravisCI. I get the following output in verbose mode: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> expecting success: mk_empty testrepo && ( cd testrepo && git config uploadpack.allowtipsha1inwant $configallowtipsha1inwant && git commit --allow-empty -m foo && git commit --allow-empty -m bar && git commit --allow-empty -m xyz ) && SHA1_1=$(git --git-dir=testrepo/.git rev-parse HEAD^^) && SHA1_2=$(git --git-dir=testrepo/.git rev-parse HEAD^) && SHA1_3=$(git --git-dir=testrepo/.git rev-parse HEAD) && ( cd testrepo && git reset --hard $SHA1_2 && git cat-file commit $SHA1_1 && git cat-file commit $SHA1_3 ) && mk_empty shallow && ( cd shallow && test_must_fail git fetch ../testrepo/.git $SHA1_3 && test_must_fail git fetch ../testrepo/.git $SHA1_1 && git --git-dir=../testrepo/.git config uploadpack.allowreachablesha1inwant true && git fetch ../testrepo/.git $SHA1_1 && git cat-file commit $SHA1_1 && test_must_fail git cat-file commit $SHA1_2 && git fetch ../testrepo/.git $SHA1_2 && git cat-file commit $SHA1_2 && test_must_fail git fetch ../testrepo/.git $SHA1_3 ) Initialized empty Git repository in /home/travis/build/larsxschneider/git/t/trash directory.t5516-fetch-push/testrepo/.git/ [master (root-commit) a6b22ca] foo Author: A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx> [master 5e26403] bar Author: A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx> [master 64ea4c1] xyz Author: A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx> HEAD is now at 5e26403 bar tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 author A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1112912053 -0700 committer C O Mitter <committer@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1112912053 -0700 foo tree 4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904 parent 5e26403b4485d7a44fd8b65dc3f71e21c0dd6fad author A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1112912053 -0700 committer C O Mitter <committer@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1112912053 -0700 xyz Initialized empty Git repository in /home/travis/build/larsxschneider/git/t/trash directory.t5516-fetch-push/shallow/.git/ fatal: git upload-pack: not our ref 64ea4c133d59fa98e86a771eda009872d6ab2886 test_must_fail: died by signal: git fetch ../testrepo/.git 64ea4c133d59fa98e86a771eda009872d6ab2886 not ok 75 - deny fetch unreachable SHA1, allowtipsha1inwant=true <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< "git fetch ../testrepo/.git $SHA1_3" seems to die as follows: 1. fetch-pack.c:408 goto done; 2. fetch-pack.c:447 done: 3. fetch-pack.c:229 static void send_request...

(use 4688abf to match the line numbers) You can find the full logs about the CI run here: https://travis-ci.org/larsxschneider/git/jobs/86984110 I repeatedly executed this test to demonstrate the flakiness: failed after 100 attempts: https://travis-ci.org/larsxschneider/git/jobs/87181753 failed after 1876 attempts: https://travis-ci.org/larsxschneider/git/jobs/87181754 (all executed on bbd2929 from https://github.com/larsxschneider/git) Unfortunately I was not able to make it fail on my local machine (OS X 10.9) nor on my VM (Ubuntu 14.10). Travis CI uses Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server Edition 64 bit with a AUFS file system. Has anyone an idea what might causes these failures or can give me pointers how to investigate it?
