You can disable this feature by setting the GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT environment variable to "0". That should hopefully allow you to run the tests successfully. That shouldn't risk you anything, like reduce test coverage or similar. That the tests are chainlint-ok (roughly speaking, that they are written the way the Git project likes its tests) has already been established by many others at this point. I'm cc-ing the resident chainlint expert. Martin
