On my Windows system where the POSIX commands are provided by MSYS2, I observe this output: $ ls -l Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 Johannes Sixt 197121 101780 Jun 30 09:33 Makefile Notice the blank in the user name. Obviously, extracting the size of a file by counting columns won't work. But two tests in t5319 do that. Use the stat command to print just the file size.

The actual output used in the tests is: -r--r--r-- 1 Johannes Sixt 197121 2239 Jan 1 01:03 .git/objects/pack/pack-A-40289997979ee9f2d7198a5b4ac9fe14e27cbe4b.pack -r--r--r-- 1 Johannes Sixt 197121 1385 Jan 1 01:02 .git/objects/pack/pack-B-926e20b0e641003b2f6bcddd6ccf53e7741c8642.pack -r--r--r-- 1 Johannes Sixt 197121 838 Jan 1 01:01 .git/objects/pack/pack-C-b33c048d7202659249bb0cea7bbc997ce448c75d.pack -r--r--r-- 1 Johannes Sixt 197121 560 Jan 1 01:00 .git/objects/pack/pack-D-49ca36507a52bbba6d1768e28666eb0f4e5f7d95.pack -r--r--r-- 1 Johannes Sixt 197121 4587 Jun 30 16:17 .git/objects/pack/pack-E-31ea0966bb15206fbfd1b4c2f5be4b24a03050f5.pack In both tests, this group ID was passed as --batch-size, but actually the first of the two tests does not fail. Now I have to wonder: Why that? The test carefully attempts to extract the smallest pack size to pass as --batch-size argument. But when it passes some large number, the test still passes. Is this the intent? That is, both a small and a large --batch-size satisfy 'does not alter existing packs', but some medium sized --batch-size satisfy the next test 'repack creates a new pack'. That is very curious.
