(y/n [n]) not overwritten Another probing question. Do t5318, t5319, t5324, and t5328 pass? The "mv" is part of the corrupt_chunk_file helper is used by this: corrupt_graph () { graph=.git/objects/info/commit-graph && test_when_finished "rm -rf $graph" && git commit-graph write --reachable --changed-paths && corrupt_chunk_file $graph "$@" } and reads like this: corrupt_chunk_file () { fn=$1; shift perl "$TEST_DIRECTORY"/lib-chunk/corrupt-chunk-file.pl \ "$@" <"$fn" >"$fn.tmp" && mv "$fn.tmp" "$fn" } If the final "mv" is what is failing in the above trace, the test tried to corrupt the objects/info/commit-graph file, expecting that later steps will notice breakage. But if the broken file written in commit-graph.tmp failed to become the final commit-graph, later steps will see healthy graph file and it is understandable that we do not see any breakage that we expect, thus failing the test. Is "mv" somehow configured to always go interactive on that box and on that box alone? For example if you have ~/bin/mv that does something silly like #!/bin/bash exec /bin/mv -i "$@ and have ~/bin early in $PATH, it may be sufficient to explain the error we see (I am not claiming that is the only way to cause this test failure; it is just one possible one).
