Did you build your version of Git with Subversion support, and if so, which version of Subversion did you use (version of Debian package or other source)? The tests that were failing all require git-svn, which in turn require libsvn-perl and subversion (/usr/bin/svn). If you're missing those packages, the Subversion tests will automatically be skipped.

The latest version on master is 2.25-rc1, and that's failing in the Debian package. I haven't checked recently, but last I looked, the Debian package wasn't applying any additional patches on top of Git, so the version you're getting off GitHub is literally the same version that you're getting in the Debian package.
