When I do a gmake test these 4 platforms all fail only these 2 tests.

* FAIL 10: reinit

                 ) &&

* FAIL 11: init with --template

                 mkdir template-source &&
                 echo content >template-source/file &&
                 (
                         mkdir template-custom &&
                         cd template-custom &&
                         git init --template=../template-source
                 ) &&
                 test_cmp template-source/file template-custom/.git/file

*   ok 12: init with --template (blank)
* failed 2 among 12 test(s)
gmake[1]: *** [t0001-init.sh] Error 1
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/home/zenez/build/osr6/git-1.6.0.2/t'
gmake: *** [test] Error 2

I have not had time to look into the failures.  How many tests should I 
see and pass.  The first 40 all pass.  Then 2 of 12 fail as above.
