Here you tell us to set GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR to an absolute path, and we are good to go. > diff --git a/t/t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh b/t/t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh > index 756beb0d8e..d77012ea6d 100755 > --- a/t/t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh > +++ b/t/t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh > @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ test_description='git status with file system watcher' > # To run the entire git test suite using fsmonitor: > # > # copy t/t7519/fsmonitor-all to a location in your path and then set > -# GIT_FSMONITOR_TEST=fsmonitor-all and run your tests. > +# GIT_TEST_FSMONITOR=fsmonitor-all and run your tests. But this old comment is different, suggesting copying that script to our $PATH. I prefer your instructions above, because it's only a single step, and, more importantly, it won't pollute my $PATH. I think this comment should be updated to make the advices in both places consistent. Or perhaps even removed, now that all GIT_TEST variables are documented in the same place?
