Hi,

partly because of laziness, partly out of curiosity I was wondering if anyone had a (relatively small) test-repository lying around, that especially stresses the output (not really the integrity of the data) of git and all kinds of different combinations of operations.

We could really use it for GitX, as GitX parses the output of git and everytime we think we have found/fixed a glitch in the display we discover some new case. For example we just noticed that we didn't detect file-mode changes, and after we implemented that we thought that, of course, a file can change its mode and content at the same time... and so on ;)

So things we're looking for are things that usually don't happen that often (because of obscureness or because of convention respected by people) but are still perfectly valid output that our/other programs could trip over.

Greetings, Jojo
