We had t0301 fail again. This is run entirely within bash as we gave up on ksh. I need some advice on what to do here. It does look like this is actually in git rather than the tests, based on below.

What is really strange is that the subtests are transiently failing and not the same test each time. I cannot get any consistency during test runs. I also do not see anything in the differences that might account for this, unless somehow the unicode length. I did revert and retried the test, which also resulted in transient failures. It all works fine when I use -x, so I can't shed light on it from there. An example of the failure is:

 protocol=https
 host=example.com
-username=askpass-username
-password=askpass-password

+password=store-pass
not ok 21 - helper (cache) can forget host

We also had a hang in subtest 23 at
