My system:
Ubuntu 5.10 aka Breezy

I wonder what your system shows if you run:

	$ cd t && sh -x t3600-rm.sh -i -v

The test #9 makes the test directory unwritable before trying to
unlink a file there, and git-rm runs rm without -f which should
make it fail.  So either your "chmod u-w ." is broken, you are
running it as root and defeating "chmod u-w .", or you have a
broken rm that does not report failure with its exit status.

The relevant part on my machine looks like this:

$ cd t
$ sh -x t3600-rm.sh -i -v
...
*   ok 8: Test that "git-rm -f" succeeds with embedded space, tab, or newline characters.
+ test y = y
+ chmod u-w .
+ test_expect_failure 'Test that "git-rm -f" fails if its rm fails' 'git-rm -f baz'
+ test 2 = 2
+ say 'expecting failure: git-rm -f baz'
+ echo '* expecting failure: git-rm -f baz'
* expecting failure: git-rm -f baz
+ test_run_ 'git-rm -f baz'
+ eval 'git-rm -f baz'
++ git-rm -f baz

+ return 0
