I have a CI failure in one series of mine that seems to be a lack of updating to CMake in contrib/buildsystems, perhaps we should be adding that to extra/ too, i.e. extending this to the "make test" run by CI? Not something that should hinder or necessarily be included in this series, just a note about a related component. > And we might move some components from the core which aren't realy part > of the core to extra, like gitk, git-gui, git-p4, and git-svn. I'd also like to see us run the tests for the likes of mw-to-git, diff-highlight and subtree by default, at least under CI or some "extended tests" mode, even though we may not install them by default.
