+ test_when_finished are not executed if the test failed,

--long-tests::
This causes additional long-running tests to be run (where
available), for more exhaustive testing.
---valgrind::
- Execute all Git binaries with valgrind and exit with status
- 126 on errors (just like regular tests, this will only stop
- the test script when running under -i). Valgrind errors
- go to stderr, so you might want to pass the -v option, too.
+--valgrind=<tool>::
+ Execute all Git binaries under valgrind tool <tool> and exit
+ with status 126 on errors (just like regular tests, this will
+ only stop the test script when running under -i).
Since it makes no sense to run the tests with --valgrind and
not see any output, this option implies --verbose. For
convenience, it also implies --tee.
- Note that valgrind is run with the option --leak-check=no,
+ <tool> defaults to 'memcheck', just like valgrind itself.
+ Other particularly useful choices include 'helgrind' and
+ 'drd', but you may use any tool recognized by your valgrind
+ installation.
+
+ As a special case, <tool> can be 'memcheck-fast', which uses
+ memcheck but disables --track-origins. Use this if you are
+ running tests in bulk, to see if there are _any_ memory
+ issues.
+
+ Note that memcheck is run with the option --leak-check=no,
as the git process is short-lived and some errors are not
interesting. In order to run a single command under the same
conditions manually, you should set GIT_VALGRIND to point to
The process retains the same pid across exec(2). See fb9a2bea for
