Subject: Tests fail when NetBeans has its filthy claws in your company
Environments that use NetBeans (like ours did before we fired him) are candidates for having 'dist' in the global gitignore file, meaning that t/repo-dir.t fails with the message: The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: dist Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added Adding -f should probably avoid this problem but I'm not sure whether that's a good idea since it changes what's being tested. Meanwhile I'm going to remove netbeans stuff from our global gitignore :)
Could you please investigate this further? t/repo-dir.t sets $ENV{HOME} to a temporary directory specifically to avoid problems like this. It shouldn't be using any of your global Git configuration. Is there some other environment variable that you're using to tell Git where your global excludes file is?
Subject: Tests fail if "dist" is in global Git excludes file
I'm still unable to reproduce this, so nothing's going to happen regarding it unless someone supplies more details.

Apologies, I think I tried to reproduce it but then got called away and forgot completely. I don't think I ever did manage to narrow it down, but I think in the process I discovered some flaws in our git setup that have presumably been resolved since this doesn't appear to happen any more
