Hi, I've taken an example of how to use GIT_SKIP_TESTS directly from t/README: $ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make and noticed that t0000 is still being run. I've written a script to bisect the issue: #/bin/sh ( cd t GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t[0-4]??? t91?? t9200.8' make | \ head | grep 'SKIP skip all tests in t0000' ) and it bisected to edc23840b0 (test-lib: bring $remove_trash out of retirement, 2021-05-10) which was merged to master in 2019256717 ("Merge branch 'ab/test-lib-updates'", 2021-06-14). Note, that spelling out the tests number in full works, i.e. $ GIT_SKIP_TESTS=t0000 make won't run t0000.
