Install on opensolaris 2008.05

I'm building an opensolaris box, and am running into test failures when compiling git.

 I'm installing on opensolaris 2008.05 and the tests fail in
t0002-gitfile.sh  ( test numbers 2 and 3 ) is this expected/ok?

*** t0002-gitfile.sh ***
*   ok 1: initial setup
* FAIL 2: bad setup: invalid .git file format

                echo "gitdir $REAL" >.git &&
                if git rev-parse 2>.err
                then
                        echo "git rev-parse accepted an invalid .git file"
                        false
                fi &&
                if ! grep -qe "Invalid gitfile format" .err
                then
                        echo "git rev-parse returned wrong error"
                        false
                fi

No, it's not expected nor ok (though it there is a reasonable chance it is a portability problem in the test script, and not a real git breakage).

What does

  make test GIT_TEST_OPTS="-v -i"

tell you?

Just a guess, but I think Solaris grep doesn't understand "-q".

Does the patch below help?

Ahh, looks like it's a grep problem, thanks. opensolaris grep doesn't like the options in the test.

By default it provides ggrep (gnu grep ) which does have the appropriate options.

After making some changes so that the right grep is available ( moving the old one out of the way and symlinking ggrep in place ) the tests proceed past the original point to here:

* passed all 6 test(s)

         >file &&
         git add file &&

         echo >file &&
         git add file

  Do not run the test-suite as root ?
