I can see that refs/files-backend.c misuses it already, but
remove_path() helper is about removing a path in the working tree,
together with any parent directory that becomes empty due to the
removal.  You do not expect $GIT_DIR/ to become an empty directory
after removing $GIT_DIR/BISECT_LOG nor want to rmdir $GIT_DIR even
if it becomes empty.  It is a wrong helper function to use here.

Also you do not seem to check the error from the function to smudge
the "result" you are returning from this function.

Isn't unlink_or_warn() more correct helper to use here?

Yes I should combine the results from every removal.
Isn't unlink_or_warn() more correct helper to use here?
The shell code uses rm -f which is silent and it removes only if
present. So it makes me wonder which would be more appropriate
unlink_or_warn() or remove_or_warn() or remove_path(). Is
remove_path() different from its shell equivalent "rm -f"?
