Hi Team,
 
I have raised https://github.com/git/git/pull/1744.
The win test(5) test case failed stating the reason as "The Operation cancelled". I saw that it failed after 5 hours 59 minutes of running the test cases(build). How do I handle this?
 
Please suggest.
 
Best regards
Haritha

It would seem that the rate of random timeouts and general flakiness of
Git's test suite has increased as of late.

I started a re-run of the timed-out job:

Ciao,
