When a test script fails in Git's test suite, the usual course of action is to re-run it using options to increase the verbosity of the output, e.g. `-v` and `-x`. Like in Git's CI runs, when running the tests in Visual Studio via the CTest route, it is cumbersome or at least requires a very unintuitive approach to pass options to the test scripts: the CMakeLists.txt file would have to be modified, passing the desired options to _all_ test scripts, and then the CMake Cache would have to be reconfigured before running the test in question individually. Unintuitive at best, and opposite to the niceties IDE users expect. So let's just pass those options by default: This will not clutter any output window but the log that is written to a log file will have information necessary to figure out test failures. While at it, also imitate what the Windows jobs in Git's CI runs do to accelerate running the test scripts: pass the `--no-bin-wrappers` and `--no-chain-lint` options. This makes the test runs noticeably faster because the `bin-wrappers/` scripts as well as the `chain-lint` code make heavy use of POSIX shell scripting, which is really, really slow on Windows due to the need to emulate POSIX behavior via the MSYS2 runtime. In a test by Eric Sunshine, it added two minutes (!) just to perform the chain-lint task. The idea of adding a CMake config option (á la `GIT_TEST_OPTS`) was considered during the development of this patch, but then dropped: such a setting is global, across _all_ tests, where e.g. `--run=...` would not make sense. Users wishing to override these new defaults are better advised running the test script manually, in a Git Bash, with full control over the command line.

Contributed Software Although these pieces are available as part of the official git source tree, they are in somewhat different status. The intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them, and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved faster. I am not expecting to touch these myself that much. As far as my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are owned by their respective primary authors. I am willing to help if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners" have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree owners. IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch. If you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer). This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the drill. I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory. On the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused and inactive ones from time to time. If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves there are some general interests (it does not have to be a list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport), submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your stuff there. -jc
