-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi there, While bumping Git's version for our Linux distribution to 2.14.1, I've run in to a new test failure in t6500-gc.sh. This is the output of the failing test with debug=t verbose=t: expecting success: # make sure we run a background auto-gc test_commit make-pack && git repack && test_config gc.autopacklimit 1 && test_config gc.autodetach true && # create a ref whose loose presence we can use to detect a pack-refs run git update-ref refs/heads/should-be-loose HEAD && test_path_is_file .git/refs/heads/should-be-loose && # now fake a concurrent gc that holds the lock; we can use our # shell pid so that it looks valid. hostname=$(hostname || echo unknown) && printf "$$ %s" "$hostname" >.git/gc.pid && # our gc should exit zero without doing anything run_and_wait_for_auto_gc && test_path_is_file .git/refs/heads/should-be-loose [master 28ecdda] make-pack Author: A U Thor <author@xxxxxxxxxxx> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) create mode 100644 make-pack.t Counting objects: 3, done.

Should I use strace on the git-gc process at the end? How would I accomplish that? Is there a better way of debugging this error further? Core system stats: Intel x86_64 E3-1280 v3 @ 3.60 GHz musl libc 1.1.16+20 git 2.14.1, vanilla except for a patch to an earlier test due to musl's inability to cope with EUC-JP bash 4.3.48(1)-release Thank you very much.
