Re: Problem with test from aa9c83c2

When run as root, the test added in aa9c83c2 fails, because root is allowed
to remove files in unreadable and unwriteable directories. Now, the
problem is that I don't know what to do with that. Should we care ?

Of course not.  You are nuts running tests as root.

If "git foo" should refuse to remove a file for revision control
reason, and it does refuse correctly for a non-root user but it
fails to refuse when run as root, then that is a bug and we do
care about it.  IOW, I am not saying you are nuts running git as
root.
