Here’s where things are. This is probably the best git release so far
(ever). After applying a4cdf02, I had 6 total breakages. 3 existing, 3 new.
Many reduced. The test took about 24 hours to run on platform, which is
about 2 hours shorter than 2.13.5.

t1308-config-set.sh (2 already discussed and expecting a fix, both appear to
be issues in the test script, not code)
t1404-update-ref-errors.sh # 52 – reported but not discussed:
   not ok 52 - delete fails cleanly if packed-refs file is locked.
     The lock detection worked, but the test assumed the detection would
occur in a different spot.
t9001-send-email.sh (2 have existed for 2 years. 1 is new. We have not used
send-email on platform to this point).
   not ok 31 - reject long lines
     This is a new fail since 2.8.5
  not ok 106 - sendemail.transferencoding=7bit fails on 8bit data
     Still to be investigated. This may be a tooling issue on Platform.
  not ok 107 - --transfer-encoding overrides sendemail.transferEncoding
     Still to be investigated. This may be a tooling issue on Platform.

Otherwise, this release looks really clean. I would appreciate any help
resolving the remaining items.

Cheers,
Randall

I missed one:
not ok 134 - --dump-aliases must be used alone
#
#               test_must_fail git send-email --dump-aliases
--to=janice@example
.com -1 refs/heads/accounting
#

This one has been around at least since 2.5.6.
