So it succeeded... Complicated, then. You can try removing the
command-line options (except -i, which just makes the script stop
after the first failure):

    ./t2004-checkout-cache-temp.sh -i -v
    ./t2004-checkout-cache-temp.sh -i -d

and see if it breaks. Either -d or -v will help to pinpoint the test,
which failed more precisely.

Or, you can also try to build everything from scratch first (by
re-cloning your git repo somewhere and building it there).  As far as
I understood, the "make test" failed after you tried to build things
first time, right?

P.S. sorry for slow communication. I'm rarely on the net. A more
active debugging session can be had on IRC, there is some experienced
folk hanging around there (irc.freenode.net, channel #git).
