Hi Jonathan

t4111 never worked under valgrind on my machine, building 9f41a91 and then running it with --valgrind results in:

  expecting success: 
          cp postimage expected &&
          reset_subdir preimage other &&
          (
                  cd sub/dir &&
                  test_must_fail git apply --index "$patch"
          ) &&
          reset_subdir other preimage &&
          (
                  cd sub/dir &&
                  test_must_fail git apply --index "$patch"
          ) &&
          reset_subdir preimage preimage &&
          (
                  cd sub/dir &&
                  git apply --index "$patch"
          ) &&
          git show :sub/dir/file >actual &&
          test_cmp expected actual &&
          test_cmp expected sub/dir/file

  error: sub/dir/file: does not match index
  error: sub/dir/file: does not match index
  error: sub/dir/file: does not match index
  not ok - 5 apply --index from subdir of toplevel

  #               ) &&
  #               reset_subdir other preimage &&
  #               (
  #                       cd sub/dir &&
  #                       test_must_fail git apply --index "$patch"
  #               ) &&
  #               reset_subdir preimage preimage &&
  #               (
  #                       cd sub/dir &&
  #                       git apply --index "$patch"
  #               ) &&
  #               git show :sub/dir/file >actual &&
  #               test_cmp expected actual &&
  #               test_cmp expected sub/dir/file
  #

Any ideas what might be going wrong?

Thanks for reporting.  Does this patch work for you?

Subject: t4111 (apply): refresh index before applying patches to it

"git apply", like most plumbing, does not automatically refresh the index file even if it is only stat-dirty. So unless the two "cp" commands in reset_preimage() for a given file happen to have the same time stamp, there will be a spurious

	error: sub/dir/file: does not match index

Refresh the index to eliminate this timing dependency. Noticed by running the test with --valgrind (which slows things down a lot).

Yes, that solves it.  Thanks!

Junio, can you pick this up? t4111 consistently fails for me without it.
