Hi *,

Having upgraded to v1.6.0, via tar-ball as usual, I must note a new "make test" failure, namely t9700-perl-git.sh. In order to pass, I need to run:

GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0004 t3700.2[1234] t9700' make test

I haven't had time to look into the new failure yet; I'll report back when I know more. (I will send a couple of minor patches related to the 1.6.0 build)

Also, the new test summary shows (on Linux and cygwin):

          Linux    Cygwin
fixed     1        3
success   3748     3511
failed    0        0
broken    2        2
total     3751     3520
[time:    5m47s    47m]

Note the number of fixed on cygwin. It took some time to find, but it appears that the additional FIXED where t0050-filsystem.sh tests 5 "merge (case change)" and 6 "add (with different case)". Again, I haven't investigated yet.

You have no failed tests.

That's normal for cygwin: the microsoft filesystems are case-insensitive and the tests were skipped because of that.

True. But I guess I didn't make clear that the cygwin numbers relate to the test summary, *after* skipping the tests that fail ;-)

OK, Thanks.
