+Running tests with special setups
+---------------------------------
+
+The whole test suite could be run to test some special features
+that cannot be easily covered by a few specific test cases. These
+could be enabled by running the test suite with correct GIT_TEST_
+environment set.
+
+GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX=<boolean> forces split-index mode on the whole
+test suite. Accept any boolean values that are accepted by git-config.
+
+GIT_TEST_FULL_IN_PACK_ARRAY=<boolean> exercises the uncommon
+pack-objects code path where there are more than 1024 packs even if
+the actual number of packs in repository is below this limit. Accept
+any boolean values that are accepted by git-config.
+
+GIT_TEST_OE_SIZE=<n> exercises the uncommon pack-objects code path
+where we do not cache object size in memory and read it from existing
+packs on demand. This normally only happens when the object size is
+over 2GB. This variable forces the code path on any object larger than
+<n> bytes.
+
+GIT_TEST_OE_DELTA_SIZE=<n> exercises the uncomon pack-objects code
+path where deltas larger than this limit require extra memory
+allocation for bookkeeping.
+
+GIT_TEST_VALIDATE_INDEX_CACHE_ENTRIES=<boolean> checks that cache-tree
+records are valid when the index is written out or after a merge. This
+is mostly to catch missing invalidation. Default is true.
+
+GIT_TEST_COMMIT_GRAPH=<boolean>, when true, forces the commit-graph to
+be written after every 'git commit' command, and overrides the
+'core.commitGraph' setting to true.
