The intention was to let that patch stay on next/pu for very long time
(or ever), while the rest of fixes can be merged up to master. That's
why it was the last patch (now close to the last).

I did use an env variable to control whether it die() when unallowed
access is found in early versions. Perhaps I should resurrect that env
variable.

You meant "rev-parse --git-dir"?
