Nice!
Thanks for setting that up.
It should be very useful to us.

I looked at the chown/separator failure, but a possibly-easy
diagnosis was thwarted by the absence of the usual "set -x" output.
I discovered that that was due to a new bug, fixed by the following patch.
In general, diagnosing such problems is easier with shell access
or at least with strace output.

Subject: [PATCH] tests: fix a bug in sanitize_path_ that inhibited verbose
output
* tests/test-lib.sh (sanitize_path_): Use "set -- ...", not "set - ...",
since the latter turns off the -x setting we rely on for VERBOSE=yes
output.
