Just a heads-up.  The topic is pushed out of 'seen', as it seems to
be hated by osx-* jobs when linking programs.  As the topic has been
expecting a reroll for some time, it is not ultra urgent to fix
this, but before resurrecting it, we may want to look into it.

https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/9023837489

is an example run where we see error messages like:

ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: 'git-std-lib.a', 'libgit.a', 'reftable/libreftable.a', 'xdiff/lib.a'

and

ld: Undefined symbols:
    _git_config_get_bool, referenced from:
        _precompose_string_if_needed in git-std-lib.a[11](precompose_utf8.o)

in both clang and gcc jobs.

We did not see these breakages before, and we do not see these
breakages in today's 'seen' with this topic excluded.  I haven't
tried to include this but excluding tb/precompose-getcwd topic
instead, which I suspect might also work.

Thanks.
