Another situation came up during regression testing on NonStop:
t5401 broke on the first run through (most tests), with the failures below.

When running the test in isolation, it passes without incident whether or
not --verbose is used. So far, this only occurs on the first run through. I
wanted to report it, based on the inconsistency of results. This is not the
first time tests have acted in this fashion, and I realize it is difficult
to do anything about it without being able to recreate the situation.
Such as it is,

Does running git clean -dxf cause it to be reproducible?

I will give it a go. Having exactly the same behaviour in t7519 subtest 19. I wonder whether there are breadcrumbs not being cleaned up. Will report back when I am able - may take a day or so.

Made no difference. t5401 passed cleanly after a the clean -dxf. I don't know where the breadcrumbs are. I guess it could be something funky in the file system on platform or with bash.

I fear that t7519's problems are *completely* unrelated to the t5401 issue
you reported earlier. I hunted the t7519 problems down today, and I could
imagine that these patches fix your t7519, too:

From the description, I believe it. Timestamp resolution on NonStop is in microseconds and those are not even slightly simulated. Coupled with this being an MPP not SMP, things can occur within the same microsecond, or in weird situations slightly before or after when comparing the clock on different CPUs. Yes, time-travel is possible at the single microsecond level 😉. Cores are synchronized, but our machine has 4 CPUs and synchronizing the file system across all of them does lead to slightly strange situations.

I tested my patches with
sh t7519-status-fsmonitor.sh --stress-jobs=8 --stress-limit=10
Why don't you check out my branch, build and test, and then we know
whether it fixes your t7519 bug?

Johannes

FWIW I do not see any of the major platforms having any sort of regression
in t5401:
https://dev.azure.com/gitgitgadget/git/_test/analytics?definitionId=4&contextType=build
So I guess the only way you will find out more about this issue is by
instrumenting the code and digging in. You will most likely find that the
`--stress` mode will help you recreate the situation rather easily.
Ciao,
Johannes
