I'm not sure how others are avoiding this issue, but in Docker I'm failing t1304 with: not ok 3 - Objects creation does not break ACLs with restrictive umask # # # SHA1 for empty blob # check_perms_and_acl .git/objects/e6/9de29bb2d1d6434b8b29ae775ad8c2e48c5391 # not ok 4 - git gc does not break ACLs with restrictive umask # # git gc && # check_perms_and_acl .git/objects/pack/*.pack # because USER isn't set. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. $ docker run --rm -i -t wking/gentoo-portage:20141002 /bin/bash 2. # FEATURES=test emerge -v dev-vcs/git Actual Results: … failed test(s): t1304, t9903 … Expected Results: Successful emerge. The wking/gentoo-portage:20141002 is a stock amd64 stage3 with the same day's package tree. I can post 'emerge --info' and such if you want more details. See also the upstream patch [1].

Created attachment 386854 [details, diff] Patch explicitly setting USER before running the tests. For some reason, explicitly setting USER before calling emerge doesn't cut it. This patch works though (coreutils gives us 'id').
