+On linux I'm seeing only around 90 open files max (mostly pipes to git), 
+and maybe 30 git processes max. It does not seem to be leaking a
+git process per test directory or anything like that on linux.
+
+On OSX, more accurate look at the open files (75868 is the pid of the
+git-annex test process)
+
+	while sleep 1; do lsof -p 75868|wc -l; done
+	      24
+	      32
+	      36
+	      46
+	      47
+	      49
+	      41
+	      32
+	      24
+	      30
+	      27
+	...
+
+Never went above 80 open files. Similarly:
+
+	while sleep 1; do ps | grep git |wc -l; done
+	      20
+	      17
+	      18
+	      17
+	      15
+	      22
+	       9
+	      14
+	      11
+	      19
+	       9
+	      11
+	      17
+
+	...
+
+Never went over 30 processes.
+
+It would be very helpful to pause git-annex test when it starts failing
+and take a look at lsof and ps to see what open files and child processes
+it has.

+Above was with daily OSX build, which is currently built with ghc 8.0.2.
+My linux test was also with ghc 8.0.2.
+
+It may be that ghc 8.2.1 has different cleanup behavior which
+causes more open files. The other reporter was also using ghc 8.2.1.
