Hi,

I'm closing this old report, as our git packages seems to build reliably
now.

On Hydra, the following intermittent test failure in 'git' has occurred
twice in the last two days, and twice about a month ago:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
not ok 3 - git svn branch tests
#	
#		test_must_fail git svn branch a &&
#		git svn branch --parents a &&
#		test_must_fail git svn branch -t tag1 &&
#		git svn branch --parents -t tag1 &&
#		test_must_fail git svn branch --tag tag2 &&
#		git svn branch --parents --tag tag2 &&
#		test_must_fail git svn tag tag3 &&
#		git svn tag --parents tag3
#	
# failed 1 among 3 test(s)
1..3
make[2]: *** [Makefile:49: t9167-git-svn-cmd-branch-subproject.sh] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The problem is not architecture specific.  It has occurred at least once
on all three hydra-supported-systems (x86_64, i686, and armhf).  The
collateral damage includes several hundred dependency failures.

The following error also happened once on x86_64 about a month ago:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
not ok 3 - git svn branch tests
#	
#		git svn branch a &&
#		base=$(git rev-parse HEAD:) &&
#		test $base = $(git rev-parse remotes/origin/a:) &&
#		git svn branch -m "created branch b blah" b &&
#		test $base = $(git rev-parse remotes/origin/b:) &&
#		test_must_fail git branch -m "no branchname" &&
#		git svn branch -n c &&
#		test_must_fail git rev-parse remotes/origin/c &&
#		test_must_fail git svn branch a &&
#		git svn branch -t tag1 &&
#		test $base = $(git rev-parse remotes/origin/tags/tag1:) &&
#		git svn branch --tag tag2 &&
#		test $base = $(git rev-parse remotes/origin/tags/tag2:) &&
#		git svn tag tag3 &&
#		test $base = $(git rev-parse remotes/origin/tags/tag3:) &&
#		git svn tag -m "created tag4 foo" tag4 &&
#		test $base = $(git rev-parse remotes/origin/tags/tag4:) &&
#		test_must_fail git svn tag -m "no tagname" &&
#		git svn tag -n tag5 &&
#		test_must_fail git rev-parse remotes/origin/tags/tag5 &&
#		test_must_fail git svn tag tag1
#
