It is unfortunately rare to see all CI jobs pass, but today is one
of those days ;-)

With this, and everything in 'seen' reported in the last edition of
the "What's cooking" report, excluding the
'tn/packfile-uri-concurrency' topic, CI passes all jobs.

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/30137079882/

'tn/packfile-uri-concurrency' was tentatively excluded from the
above as I made a random guess at who the culprit for the t5550
failure in

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/30130205851/job/89602846186

for the SHA-256 CI job was.  I have merged the topic back into
'seen', and the resulting CI run for 'seen' is here:

  https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/30138777784/

It has not finished running, so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks.
