But it seems it is only useful if the test changed is in that example. If I look at the summary for the CI run from v3 of this series [1] then I can see a test failure in t1022

     linux-leaks(ubuntu-rolling): t/t1022-read-tree-partial-clone.sh#L8
     failed: t1022.1 read-tree in partial clone prefetches in one batch

If I click on the link [2] it does not take me to that test file though, because it was not changed. That makes this somewhat less useful than I initially thought. The current behavior is that when you click on those links in the summary page it takes you to the test output for the job that failed which seems more useful. For example [3] is recent test run that had a leak and clicking on

     linux-leaks:(ubuntu-rolling):
     failed: t1092.58 submodule handling

Takes me to [4] which where I can click to expand the output of the failing test.

Thanks

Phillip
