The UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC prereq was added to t0021-conversion and
t2006-checkout-index-basic in upstream commit 684dd4c2b4 (checkout: fix
bug that makes checkout follow symlinks in leading path, 2020-12-10), to
test the fixes for CVE-2021-21300.
Fedora's supported systems do not appear to "convert decomposed utf-8
(nfd) to precomposed utf-8 (nfc)" which is what the prereq covers.
Ignore the skipped tests which use the UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC prereq when
looking for missing test dependencies and/or incorrectly skipped tests.
Release notes:
https://github.com/git/git/raw/v2.28.0-rc0/Documentation/RelNotes/2.28.0.txt
Update git.skip-test-patterns to catch the 2GB clone test. The output
of the skipped test was changed (for the better) in upstream commit
d63ae31962 (t5608: avoid say() and use "skip_all" instead for
consistency, 2020-05-22).
Running jgit on Fedora >= 30 results in an immediate failure¹:
$ jgit --version
/usr/bin/build-classpath: Could not find xz-java Java extension for this JVM
/usr/bin/build-classpath: error: Some specified jars were not found
Error: Could not find or load main class org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher
Skip the jgit tests if 'jgit --version' fails. This way we'll begin
running them again once the issue is resolved -- without having to make
any further changes to the git package.
Also exclude jgit on i386 arch, as upstream eclipse has dropped support.
We could adjust the conditional to only exclude on Fedora >= 30 and
i386, but the added complexity is not worth the effort.

It is useful to check the output of the test suite for skipped tests.
This reveals tests which may have missing BuildRequires or other issues.
Doing so can be tedious due to the many legitimate tests we skip. Keep
a list of patterns matching tests we skip intentionally.
To use this list to process a build.log, run something like the
following:
$ egrep '# SKIP|skipped:' build.log | egrep -v -f git.skip-test-patterns
There should be no output. Any output should be checked and the tests
fixed or added to the skip patterns file.
