As the names depend on the tests' file names, it is safe to
run the tests with this option in parallel.
+-V::
--verbose-log::
Write verbose output to the same logfile as `--tee`, but do
_not_ write it to stdout. Unlike `--tee --verbose`, this option
this feature by setting the GIT_TEST_CHAIN_LINT environment
variable to "1" or "0", respectively.
+--stress::
+--stress=<N>::
+ Run the test script repeatedly in multiple parallel jobs until
+ one of them fails. Useful for reproducing rare failures in
+ flaky tests. The number of parallel jobs is, in order of
+ precedence: <N>, or the value of the GIT_TEST_STRESS_LOAD
+ environment variable, or twice the number of available
+ processors (as shown by the 'getconf' utility), or 8.
+ Implies `--verbose -x --immediate` to get the most information
+ about the failure. Note that the verbose output of each test
+ job is saved to 't/test-results/$TEST_NAME.stress-<nr>.out',
+ and only the output of the failed test job is shown on the
+ terminal. The names of the trash directories get a
+ '.stress-<nr>' suffix, and the trash directory of the failed
+ test job is renamed to end with a '.stress-failed' suffix.

You can also set the GIT_TEST_INSTALLED environment variable to
the bindir of an existing git installation to test that installation.
You still need to have built this git sandbox, from which various
GIT_TEST_PRELOAD_INDEX=<boolean> exercises the preload-index code path
by overriding the minimum number of cache entries required per thread.
+GIT_TEST_REBASE_USE_BUILTIN=<boolean>, when false, disables the
+builtin version of git-rebase. See 'rebase.useBuiltin' in
+git-config(1).
+
GIT_TEST_INDEX_THREADS=<n> enables exercising the multi-threaded loading
of the index for the whole test suite by bypassing the default number of
cache entries and thread minimums. Setting this to 1 will make the
index loading single threaded.
+GIT_TEST_MULTI_PACK_INDEX=<boolean>, when true, forces the multi-pack-
+index to be written after every 'git repack' command, and overrides the
+'core.multiPackIndex' setting to true.

Naming Tests
------------
- Creates an empty test directory with an empty .git/objects database
and chdir(2) into it. This directory is 't/trash
directory.$test_name_without_dotsh', with t/ subject to change by
- the --root option documented above.
+ the --root option documented above, and a '.stress-<N>' suffix
+ appended by the --stress option.
- Defines standard test helper functions for your scripts to
use. These functions are designed to make all scripts behave
