From: Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2026 14:36:07 GMT Subject: [PATCH 1/4] t5516: fix test order flakiness Message-ID: <540a5682b4ab1b7d0b0dd3c3c388c6a9f0eeb587.1775658970.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.
