Did you build your version of Git with Subversion support, and if so,
which version of Subversion did you use (version of Debian package or
other source)?  The tests that were failing all require git-svn, which
in turn require libsvn-perl and subversion (/usr/bin/svn).  If you're
missing those packages, the Subversion tests will automatically be
skipped.

The latest version on master is 2.25-rc1, and that's failing in the
Debian package.  I haven't checked recently, but last I looked, the
Debian package wasn't applying any additional patches on top of Git, so
the version you're getting off GitHub is literally the same version that
you're getting in the Debian package.
