Subject: [Breakage] Git v2.21.0-rc0 - t5318 (NonStop)

Hi All,

t5318 is rather problematic and I have no good way to fix this. There is no /dev/zero on the platform, and the corrupt_graph_and_verify hard-codes if=/dev/zero, which is a linux-specific pseudo device. Please provide a more platform independent way of testing this feature. Pretty much all subtests from 46 onward fail as a result.

expecting success:
        corrupt_graph_and_verify 0 "\0" \
                "graph signature"

dd: failed to open '/dev/zero': No such file or directory
not ok 46 - detect bad signature

#               corrupt_graph_and_verify 0 "\0" \
#                       "graph signature"
