I've recently encountered the same problem with t/t3600-rm.sh step 9, but I put it down to compiling as root. Basically, the chmod of the directory didn't stop the delete from happening, since I had umask 002 and it was g+w. Anyway, that test is fragile. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
