Right. Any modern-ish Bourne shell will do, so moving to bash is one
way to fix it.

My last compile of git 2.2.2 did far better than the current 2.8.2. So
it looks like there were more recent changes that broke portability.

If you have a working version and a non-working version, the results of
"git bisect" would be very helpful to find the change (or the output of
the test run with "-v -i" to show what's going on in the failing test).
