The test_must_fail() family of functions (including test_might_fail()) should only be used on git commands. Replace test_might_fail() with test_non_git_might_fail().

Can you update the commit message to show that this change is indeed the correct choice so that readers of this patch don't have to go through the same investigative reasoning process you went through to convince yourself that it is correct. In other words, why was test_might_fail() used in the first place? Is it because there might not be a sharedindex.* file? Or is it because repo.git/repos/foo might not be writable? Or what? The answer to these questions should explain to the reader, for instance, why you chose to use `test_non_git_might_fail cp ...` as opposed to a simple `cp -f ...`.
