Re: Is MacOS CI flaky?

2. https://github.com/chooglen/git/actions/runs/5292953535

with a fix for "win build", but 2. also failed for completely unrelated
reasons on osx-*.

Casually clicking through https://github.com/git/git/actions/ suggests
that others might be experiencing similar failures too?

One of the above two is a topic that mucks with credential seeing a
failure in http test, so I would not be surprised if the topic adds
a test that does not pass on macOS.  Its breakage does seem somewhat
similar to what you are getting.  I didn't check what the above
topic of yours is doing---maybe it is not touching http codepath
and/or the http tests at all?  If that is the case, I would not be
surprised if the existing test is flaky.

The other one is failing tests with p4, which I saw is flaky and
fails to bring up or tear down p4 environment for testing.  I
usually ignore them when I am watching the post-push tests, unless
at a major milestone, in which case I'd "Re-run failed jobs" and
sometimes the breakage goes away (i.e. the failure is flake).

Thanks.
