A release candidate Git v2.33.0-rc1 is now available for testing at the
usual places.  It is comprised of 396 non-merge commits since v2.32.0, contributed by 63 people, 19 of which are new faces [*].

Just a report that t0301.9 hung again on 2.32.0-rc1 on the NonStop ia64 platform, and t5563.8 hung on the x86 platform. These did not
hang at rc0 or in 2.31.0. We have seen (and reported) these before and they do appear transient. I have been meaning to dig deeper into
both of these tests to figure out why and what the conditions are, but there are many moving parts on the platform (it is MPP). It probably
would take some brainstorming - I suspect there is something relating to timing in the message system that is causing this heartburn, but
the features under test do not appear to be commonly used.

2.32.0-rc2 passes on the NonStop x86 platform. ia64 is slower and still running. The test failure is t9001 because there is no sendmail on the platform. Is there a suitable dependency that I can use add to bypass this test?
