Can you rerun it with GIT_TRACE="$TRASH_DIRECTORY/trace" set on the
failed tests?

This test is OK for me, although the next ones fail (pu db22585). How
do I debug gitweb.perl? t9502.2 shows

FULL_ID  = 1005c80cc11c531d327b12195027cbbb4ff9e3cb
SHORT_ID = 1005c80
expecting success:
        gitweb_run "p=.git;a=snapshot;h=$FULL_ID;sf=tar" &&
        check_snapshot ".git-$SHORT_ID"

basename=.git-1005c80
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
not ok - 2 snapshot: full sha1

Not very helpful.

On t9500.1, I get

[Fri Nov  5 02:09:15 2010] gitweb.perl: Undefined subroutine
&main::cache_fetch called at
/home/pclouds/w/git/t/../gitweb/gitweb.perl line 1124.

Setting PERLLIB makes it work, but shouldn't the test script have done
that already?
