FYI Review:  
tfpt review “/shelveset:irtests\_parallel;REDMOND\jdeville”  
Comment :  
cmd /k caused irtests to hang for non-parallel processes. So I made  
the /k conditional on passing in the parallel option.

tfpt review /shelveset:irtests;sborde

Disables tests failing on Ivan’s build machine. The  
DateExtCalculationsTest test is failing on the build machine with MRI as  
well, so the test needs more investigation. The Dir.chdir issues are a  
bug in IronRuby. We want to keep testing with TMP set to a long path  
name (instead of working around the bug by setting TMP to something  
short) so that we have coverage from the other tests to ensure that  
there are no other issues with TMP being set to a long path name.
