I still think that this last patch needs to be reworked before this
series is merged any further.
The only Python script we have is 'git p4', so the Python version is
only relevant for 'git p4' tests ('t98*'), while the rest of Git and
the test suite couldn't care less [1]. This patch, however, not only
builds Git and runs the full test suite for each of the two Python
versions, but, worse, runs the full test suite _twice_ for each, first
as a "regular" test run and then again with all the GIT_TEST_* knobs
enabled. Consequently, it adds ~50mins to every build's runtime.
That's just too wasteful.
[1] Well, there is 'contrib/svn-fe/svnrdump_sim.py' as well, but
that's contrib, though it is used in 't9020-remote-svn.sh'.
