As usual, I forgot my footnote. ;)
It was:
I've actually mostly given up my stress script in favor of --stress. I
only used it here because of the bisection issue you mention.
One other thing I've noticed with it: I forget to add my custom
--root=/var/ram/git-tests when I invoke it, so my hard disk goes
crazy (and the tests often run slower!). I'm not sure if there's a
convenient fix.
