It is not directly apparent what is causing this error. Could you please 
change your script to use "-i -v" on the tests? I.e. instead of:

> 	    if ! make test

this:

	    if ! (cd t; GIT_TEST_OPTS="-i -v" make)

It should give us a better idea what happened, since we also see the error messages of the git commands.

If it is still not apparent what went wrong, there is unfortunately no way around doing that particular test case manually, as to find out what went wrong. Since you seem to be the only one who can reproduce this bug, it boils down to you having to do the leg work.

Please keep us posted!
