[Python-apps-team] Bug#933100: hg-git: autopkgtest needs update for new version of git

[Paul Gevers]

Source: hg-git
Version: 0.8.12-1.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-ci at lists.debian.org, git at packages.debian.org
User: debian-ci at lists.debian.org
Usertags: needs-update
Control: affects -1 src:git

Dear maintainers,

With a recent upload of git the autopkgtest of hg-git fails in testing
when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages of git from
unstable. It passes when run with only packages from testing. In tabular
form:
                       pass            fail
git                    from testing    1:2.22.0-1
hg-git                 from testing    0.8.12-1.1
all others             from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report. It seems your
test is picky about capitalization of output generated by a binary (git)
provided by the git package. Please fix your test.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of git to testing
[1]. Of course, git shouldn't just break your autopkgtest (or even
worse, your package), but it seems to me that the change in git was
intended and your package needs to update to the new situation.

 Now check something that case-folds to .git, which might let you own
