Right now we are building and testing Git in the following configurations: 1. Linux, gcc, stable Perforce an GitLFS version (used by git-p4 tests) 2. Linux, gcc, stable Perforce an GitLFS version (used by git-p4 tests) * 3. OSX, clang, latest Perforce an GitLFS version (used by git-p4 tests) 4. OSX, clang, latest Perforce an GitLFS version (used by git-p4 tests) * 5. Linux32, gcc, no git-p4 tests 6. Windows, gcc, no git-p4 tests 1-4 run the same tests right now. This was especially useful in the beginning to identify flaky tests (t0025 is still flaky!). We could easily run the tests in 1-4 with different configurations. E.g. enable GETTEXT_POISON in 2. Cheers, Lars *) 2 and 4 use the wrong compiler right now. 2 should use clang on Linux and 4 should use gcc. A patch is on my todo list.
