Description Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2017-06-22 20:59:30 UTC 
The cron job that runs patchtest sometimes (twice this year) is unable to test incoming patches because some incoming data (patches?) is causing the share folder to get corrupted. The first time this happened [1], the git commands under the latter folder could not be done, indicating corruption on the .git folder, and the second one [1], someone the credentials were removed.

Comment 1 Leonardo Sandoval Gonzalez 2017-07-13 21:53:00 UTC 
This is a workaround to avoid filesystem corruption
