As the Student Application Period ends on March 27, I think there are
very few chances that your microproject and your proposal will get
advanced enough at the end of the period for you to be selected. You
can still try if you really want though.

It looks like the CI improvements 4 is:

install CVS on the build machines to run t94?? and t96?? tests
install SVN on the build machines to run t91?? tests
install Apache Web Server to run 5539, 5550, and 5561

So it seems to me that you should create a patch that changes:

https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/.travis.yml

so that the testing machines will have some software installed that is
required to run some tests.

See:

e7e9f5e7a1 (travis-ci: enable Git SVN tests t91xx on Linux, 2016-05-19), and

https://public-inbox.org/git/20180305200400.3769-1-sidm1999@xxxxxxxxx/

for example.

No this is not about the results of the tests.
