I did not try to figure out the reason but the topic with its tests seem to break in 'seen' the linux-cmake-ctest CI job.

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/3570230611/jobs/6001013549

but the same test does not break under usual "make test".

Can people who are interested in the cmake-ctest stuff take a look?

It is tempting to eject the ab/cmake-nix-and-ci topic that is already in 'next', under the theory that what that topic does to the tests "works" for some tests but not for others, and this topic is an unfortunate collateral damage whose tests weren't something the other topic supports well. If the cmake-ctest stuff is in such a shape, then it may have been a bit premature to merge it down.

Thanks.
