My t1000 test succeeded on modern OSX.  But "t1301-shared-repo" failed:

*** t1301-shared-repo.sh ***
* FAIL 1: shared=all

                mkdir sub &&
                cd sub &&
                git init --shared=all &&
                test 2 = $(git config core.sharedrepository)

* FAIL 2: update-server-info honors core.sharedRepository

                : > a1 &&
                git add a1 &&
                test_tick &&
                git commit -m a1 &&
                umask 0277 &&
                git update-server-info &&
                test 444 = $(stat -c %a .git/info/refs)

* failed 2 among 2 test(s)
make[1]: *** [t1301-shared-repo.sh] Error 1

This is on 1467b5fec376b6c43a5fa54bffd356e458a8d57c.

Oh... I notice "stat -c" there.  My stat doesn't know -c:

    localhost.local:~/MIRROR/git-GIT % stat -c %a /
    stat: illegal option -- c
    usage: stat [-FlLnqrsx] [-f format] [-t timefmt] [file ...]

Gotta stop using those non-portable options, I guess. :)
