[RFC PATCH 0/4] Fix occasional test failures in http tests

't5561-http-backend.sh' is prone to occasional failures; luckily it's not 'git-http-backend's fault, but the test script is a bit racy. I won't go into the details here, patch 4/4's commit message discusses it at length. 4/4 also fixes this issue, but I'm not particularly happy with that fix, the note attached to that patch explains why, along with possible alternatives, hence the RFC.

Even if we settle for a different fix, I think the first two patches are worthy cleanups on their own right.

SZEDER Gábor (4):
  t5541: avoid empty line when truncating access log
  t/lib-httpd: add the strip_access_log() helper function
  t/lib-httpd: add minor and patch version to $HTTPD_VERSION
  t/lib-httpd: sort log based on timestamp to avoid occasional failure
