Hi, I'm following up to an old thread because this test breakage remains. I've intended to dig into it further over the past few months but have not managed to spend enough time to work out the root of the problem. I hope that someone more familiar with these tests (or perhaps someone with fresh eyes) will spot the problem.

I have run a good number of builds with the patches applied and t1016-compatObjectFormat regularly fails for all of the tests which use the GPG2 prereq. A recent Github CI run is here: https://github.com/tmzullinger/git/actions/runs/13570544425 I think this test flakiness should be fixed so that we can apply the patch to fix the GPG2 prereq. As it is, we're skipping _all_ of the tests which require GPG2. Cheers, -- Todd
