Intermittent failures in t9119

Sorry for bringing up an old story, but since you added "git svn info"
with e6fefa9 (git-svn info: implement info command, 2007-11-21),...

I am seeing breakages from the said test:

    not ok - 6 info file
    #
    #               (cd svnwc; svn info file) > expected.info-file &&
    #               (cd gitwc; git svn info file) > actual.info-file &&
    #               test_cmp expected.info-file actual.info-file

    : trash directory.t9119-git-svn-info/master; diff *.info-file

I do not know if we should expect output from "svn info" to match exactly
like the above.  Is "Text Last Updated" supposed to show the stat
timestamp of the working tree (I see "(stat $path)[9]" there)?  If so,
unless the checkout/update in svnwc and gitwc prior to this test was done
within the same second, we do not have a good reason to expect that these
files should be identical.

I _think_ "svn info file" actually gives the timestamp of the revision
that touched the file the last (in their linear worldview of the history),
so perhaps this is demonstrating the real bug, but only when the test runs
very slowly?

The modification timestamp (mtime) for the two files should be in sync due to 
this line in t9119-git-svn-info.sh in 'setup repository and import':

        ptouch gitwc/file svnwc/file &&

What platform/OS is the test failing on?  I can't reproduce it on an 8-core Mac 
Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.5.
