Indeed. I am not sure about test #5, but here is my stab at fixing test #9. -- >8 -- [PATCH] t3600-rm: skip failed-remove test when we cannot make an unremovable file When running t3600-rm test under fakeroot (or as root), we cannot make a file unremovable with "chmod a-w .". Detect this case early and skip that test.

What I would do to see what is happening would be to do something like the attached patch and re-run the test. BTW, you did "sh -x t3600-rm.sh" which is very good. I usually do it when debugging hard-to-debug testsuite problem, especially ones which I do not know intimately, written by somebody else, like this: sh -x tXXXX-that-test.sh -i The -i option makes it immediately stop at the first test failure. -- >8 -- diff --git a/git-rm.sh b/git-rm.sh index fda4541..622ffca 100755 --- a/git-rm.sh +++ b/git-rm.sh @@ -43,6 +43,8 @@ case "$#" in ;; esac +set -x + if test -f "$GIT_DIR/info/exclude" then git-ls-files -z \ ``` ## Aneesh Kumar, 2006-04-15 07:33 Subject: Re: Test fails on ubuntu breezy Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/cc723f590604150033t53fa1af5wa10f93a059f4a9ce%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 4/15/06, Aneesh Kumar wrote: > I am still having failure with the top of the tree.

I also filed a bug. But they are not going to fix it in breezy. The below is the response i got. "As Ubuntu Breezy is a released probuct, only security-related fixes are accepted. If you think this fix is important enough, you could discuss the issue with the maintainers of Ubuntu backports, and see if they are interested in making a backport available: " Right now i am commenting out the test case to build the .deb file. -aneesh ```
