One thing that I need to do is review the list of "known issues" with the Git release being used. I have gone through the release notes and found that it only contains the fixes and enhancements in a particular release of Git, it does not contain a list of known issues/errata in a particular release. The github project also does not include the bug tracking list, so I am not able to figure out a way to review the known issues for a particular release. I considered reviewing the fixes in releases beyond the release used, but that has 2 problems. One, it doesn't contain any issues that are yet to be fixed. Two, only the fixes in the "next" release are truly relevant because fixes after that could have been introduced in a release after the release being used. An additional note is that the Git for Windows project does provide a list of known issues in the install

Probably not in the format you want, and likely including noise that isn't relevant, but in a clone of git.git you could run:

git grep ^test_expect_failure t/
