I think it is. Damn it. What seems to hapen here is that git does:

        - create a subdirectory
        - puts a file in
        - deletes a subdirectory (by call unlink - that would normally fail,
          but with solaris as root it does not fail)

Solaris is apparently a buggy piece of crap.

I'd suggest making a bug-report. ENOTEMPTY is not an optional error. Posix 
says "Shall fail".
