Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) > No subtests run That's cute. You seem to have missed that this is `contrib/`? The assumption of pretty much _everything_ in there is that Git was already built. Try this at home: `make clean && make -C contrib/subtree/ test` Yep. It "fails" in the same way. "has Git been built?". So if that was all the evidence in favor of that misinformation "Scalar's build is broken! Broken, broken, BROKEN!", I think we can now let it rest. At last. Ciao, Johannes
