... And indeed, I see no reason why a tool should access .dotest, 
except for accessing .dotest/patch, and then it will be very obvious 
where it fails.

when it comes to .dotest/patch, it must be reasonably accessible. When 
git-am refuses to apply a patch, and I am resolving things by hand, I 
need it pretty handy. I also sometimes edit .dotest/msg-clean.

Maybe install a .dotest/ symlink for a few "git eons", i.e. some 6 months?

Although this will not work on Windows, I see not much problems in it, 
since Windows users are not big in scripting (at least the git 
type) anyway.
