A few of us were running automated build/tests for a while. Check out:

  http://repo.or.cz/w/git/gitbuild.git

especially:

  http://repo.or.cz/w/git/gitbuild.git/tree/platform

Unfortunately the SunOS and FreeBSD machines I tested on went away, so I
am not actually running anything automated anymore. Mike Ralphson was
testing on AIX, but seems to have stopped, as well.

I think these days Junio runs the test suite through a couple of VMs,
but I don't know exactly which platforms, or how often he does so.
