The "problem" is that I am Admin on one machine, but not on the other, and / was writable for the admin group for some reasons, and only on this machine.
But, why does e.g. t0004 behave more gracefully (and skips) and t5539 just dies ? ./t0004-unwritable.sh ok 1 - setup ok 2 # skip write-tree should notice unwritable repository (missing SANITY of POSIXPERM,SANITY) (And after changing the group of / t5539 passes, and so does t0004) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
