I re-ran it several times, and also manually -- there were times it'd
succeed 6 times in a row before failing.  Weird.

Finally, the bisect came down to:

  ramune/lycaeum:git: git bisect good
  c74d9acf20ba0c69bbd67c5b0bb3bd3c2349cebe is first bad commit
  commit c74d9acf20ba0c69bbd67c5b0bb3bd3c2349cebe

      git-svn: fix dcommit clobbering when committing a series of diffs

Modifying the failing t9106-git-svn-dcommit-clobber-series.sh test to
add touch statements as so:

  test x\"\`sed -n -e 4p < file\`\" = x4444 && touch '/tmp/eleven' &&
  test x\"\`sed -n -e 7p < file\`\" = x7777 && touch '/tmp/twelve' &&
  test x\"\`sed -n -e 58p < file\`\" = x5588 && touch '/tmp/thirteen' &&
  test x\"\`sed -n -e 61p < file\`\" = x6611

Line 52 was the culprit:

  test x\"\`sed -n -e 58p < file\`\" = x5588 &&
