Thanks for the patch.  It fixes test 1 so it skips not error.
Your reply did bring some better information to light.

1.  This .git issue has come up before.  Your env var is GIT_DIR.
git clone ignores .git by upstream design.

2.  Homebrew only has stable 1.11.3, with no make check option.

3.  Your test finds the ChangeLog in 1.11.3 without any problems,
and test 1 is a skip on Lion then.  


Results with 1.11a d63c932 :  2 Fail, 22 Skip, 0 Error, 2910 total.

Darn.  Those are back.  Same ones I started posting about.
Because I've gone through three versions of XCode in the last two
months, I really should do a clean install before we address these.
For curiosity sake, I attached the latest log.  If something is obvious,
let me know.  I can wait a day or two.
