 Recently I switched to `git` for contributing to WordPress core. And of
 course, for convenience, I run tests under `git` tree.

 In this situation, all tests pass with the exception of `import` group
 tests, since they require WordPress Import plugin that doesn't live under
 `git` working tree (these changesets [40532] and [40531] forced `import`
 group tests to fail instead of skip and they seems to revert the [27349]).

 In the `svn` tree this doesn't occur because of `svn:externals` set to
 [[https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-importer/trunk/|wordpress-
 importer]].

 As workaround we could alternatively:

 * launch `phpunit` tests with `--exclude-group import` option or we

 {{{
 #!bash
 svn co https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wordpress-importer/trunk/
 wordpress-importer
 }}}

 * under ''tests/phpunit/data/plugins/'' directory and `svn up` it at
 regular basis, even if I think that the proposed patch would be a cleanier
 approach.

 Anyway, in https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/contribute/git/, a
 notes about specific test actions above should be added.

 PS: Probably there is, but I did not find a `git` repository for WordPress
 Importer plugin in order to add as `submodule`.
