Hi Everyone,

Debian HURD is catching a self test failure. It looks like its been
seen on both 2.25 and 2.26. The report below is for Git 2.26.2.

Also see https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=git&arch=hurd-i386&ver=1%3A2.26.2-1&stamp=1587409938

That log shows the error in:

  expecting success of 1308.23 'proper error on directory "files"': 
        echo "Error (-1) reading configuration file a-directory." >expect &&
        mkdir a-directory &&

        grep "^warning:" output &&
        grep "^Error" output >actual &&
        test_cmp expect actual
  test_expect_code: command exited with 128, we wanted 2 test-tool config configset_get_value foo.bar a-directory

Perhaps HURD needs the FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES Makefile knob set?
