Well, you can list all the tests you want to run, in order, on the
sanity.sh command line, not just one test, but there is no easy way to
specify a range other than test-to-end without listing each and every
test.  That should be fixed after the Autotest overhaul.

What _was_ different between a run all the way through the suite and a
run of a single test or a few tests?  I would have expected
/tmp/cvs-sanity/cvsroot to be present regardless.  If one of the other
tests is leaving interfering cruft, it is possible that that should be
fixed, as a separate issue.

As for this breaking on the trunk and not 1.11.x, it broke immediately
after one of my checkins to the trunk a few months back.  You should be
able to figure out which if you can find a working archive of the
test-results list.  Maybe I did something that causes some command to
leave cruft behind that it shouldn't?

Regardless, the test suite does pass now on feature.  I'll roll the
1.12.2 release shortly.
