I see that you have already added this paragraph to what is already in
"seen". OK.

Explicitly indicating that the error is being forced due to
"GIT_TEST_SANITIZE_LEAK_LOG=true", for a test that doesn't fail when run
normally or even when run with just
"GIT_TEST_PASSING_SANITIZE_LEAK=yes", could save us some confusion.

So, I dunno.

Anyway, I agree that this can be addressed later.

Thanks.
