Re: Test #7 in t9200-git-cvsexportcommit fails

This test fails for me on the current head (pulled just now) and where
the test was introduced (e86ad71fe).

Aahh, the test where CVS failed to commit sub-second changes...
It never really succeeded.

P.S. I don't use this part of git at all, so this is not a priority
for me. I am using Fedora 7, which is definitely a mainstream distro,
so I imagine others might have this problem too.

Just disable it:

    $ echo "export GIT_SKIP_TESTS = t9200" >>config.mak

It'll never work, cvs does not commit changes made during one second,
as they have the same timestamp.

If you feel interested, try investigating the test by running it with
"-d -v", like this:

    $ cd t
    $ ./t9200-git-cvsexportcommit.sh -d -v -i

You'll have to run it multiple times, probably: the problem is
sometimes timing dependent and changed output conditions may make it
go away for a while. Just continue trying.
