That'll generate a detailed cover report in the "cover_db_html"
directory, which you can then copy to a webserver, or inspect locally
in a browser.

-Smoke testing
--------------
-
-The Git test suite has support for smoke testing. Smoke testing is
-when you submit the results of a test run to a central server for
-analysis and aggregation.
-
-Running a smoke tester is an easy and valuable way of contributing to
-Git development, particularly if you have access to an uncommon OS on
-obscure hardware.
-
-After building Git you can generate a smoke report like this in the
-"t" directory:
-
- make clean smoke
-
-You can also pass arguments via the environment. This should make it
-faster:
-
- GIT_TEST_OPTS='--root=/dev/shm' TEST_JOBS=10 make clean smoke
-
-The "smoke" target will run the Git test suite with Perl's
-"TAP::Harness" module, and package up the results in a .tar.gz archive
-with "TAP::Harness::Archive". The former is included with Perl v5.10.1
-or later, but you'll need to install the latter from the CPAN. See the
-"Test coverage" section above for how you might do that.
-
-Once the "smoke" target finishes you'll see a message like this:
-
- TAP Archive created at <path to git>/t/test-results/git-smoke.tar.gz
-
-To upload the smoke report you need to have curl(1) installed, then
-do:
-
- make smoke_report
-
-To upload the report anonymously. Hopefully that'll return something
-like "Reported #7 added.".
-
-If you're going to be uploading reports frequently please request a
-user account by E-Mailing gitsmoke@v.nix.is. Once you have a username
-and password you'll be able to do:
-
- SMOKE_USERNAME=<username> SMOKE_PASSWORD=<password> make smoke_report
-
-You can also add an additional comment to attach to the report, and/or
-a comma separated list of tags:
-
- SMOKE_USERNAME=<username> SMOKE_PASSWORD=<password> \
- SMOKE_COMMENT=<comment> SMOKE_TAGS=<tags> \
- make smoke_report
-
-Once the report is uploaded it'll be made available at
-http://smoke.git.nix.is, here's an overview of Recent Smoke Reports
-for Git:
-
- http://smoke.git.nix.is/app/projects/smoke_reports/1
-
-The reports will also be mirrored to GitHub every few hours:
-
- http://github.com/gitsmoke/smoke-reports
-
-The Smolder SQLite database is also mirrored and made available for
-download:
-
- http://github.com/gitsmoke/smoke-database
-
-Note that the database includes hashed (with crypt()) user passwords
-and E-Mail addresses. Don't use a valuable password for the smoke
-service if you have an account, or an E-Mail address you don't want to
-be publicly known. The user accounts are just meant to be convenient
-labels, they're not meant to be secure.
