From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:25:40 GMT Subject: [PATCH v3 1/7] t5516: fix test order flakiness Message-ID: <466c56abe002ed2ac8cf0da2d6d1d8c288cd232b.1776871546.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: From: Derrick Stolee The 'fetch follows tags by default' test sorts using 'sort -k 4', but for-each-ref output only has 3 columns. This relies on sort treating records with fewer fields as having an empty fourth field, which may produce unstable results depending on locale. Use 'sort -k 3' to match the actual number of columns in the output.
