No, our test suite should always pass.  Junio does not ship a release
of Git where the test suite fails on his standard systems.  We have
a lot of users running the current `master` and `next` branches on
a lot of different platforms, so usually platform specific breakages
are caught relatively early, before a release gets made.

We do have tests we expect to fail, but then the test suite has an
inversion in it.  That is the test only passes if the underlying
operation failed.  ;-)

Hmm.  That is t5300-pack-objects.sh.  Something is really fishy
if that test failed.  We destroy a packfile and then look to see
if the SHA-1 hash detects the change.  It always does.  So uh,
what's up with your hardware that it doesn't fail?

I just built 1.5.2.2 on one of my Gentoo Linux amd64 systems and I'm
not seeing any failures from the test suite.  Not that I expected
to find any; Linux amd64 is popular enough that a number of people
run it.
