Hello,
Sorry if this is not the best way to report issues.
Solaris ships git[1]. We run it's test suite and we were having multiple
failures[2]. I noticed that the tests do expect binaries to be found
in [3]:
SANE_TOOL_PATH = /usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin
That paths contain posix conformant binaries, but the tests do expect
Linux-like behaving binaries.
The patch I am about to apply to git

Makes all tests but t7812 pass successfully. t7812 fails on locales and
utf-8 which do behave differently in Solaris.
I would suggest to update the tests to use /usr/gnu/bin path.
