It sort of looks like your build environment has something causing
deletion or loss of parts of /tmp while git-annex's test suite is
running there. 

At least, that's the only hypothesis I can muster that explains
the above, in which a git repository is present for part of two
test cases, and then suddenly loses its HEAD, as well as 
the below, in which a git repository in which git config user.name
and git config user.email have both been run suddenly starts complaining
they were not

Not to mention all these where git clone fails due to 
directories it should have just created turning up missing:

Given all this, and given that this version has successfully autobuilt
on all architectures, I respenctfully suggest you investigate what's
eating /tmp in your build environment.
