I agree that it helps to catch those Mac and P4 issues early.

However, it is possible that bogus errors are reported that might not have
been introduced by the changes of the PR, and I find it relatively hard to
figure out the specifics. Take for example

	https://travis-ci.org/git/git/jobs/124767554

It appears that t9824 fails with my interactive rebase work on MacOSX,
both Clang and GCC versions. I currently have no access to a Mac for
developing (so I am denied my favorite debugging technique: sh t... -i -v
-x), and I seem to be unable to find any useful log of what went wrong
*specifically*.

Any ideas how to find out?

Ciao,
