Certainly my only user has ever been "exec make test". But I wonder if
somebody is crazy enough to auto-generate some content and commit it.
OTOH, shouldn't it then be their responsibility to make the commit?
I.e., I can see at least the potential for mucking with the index, but I
really don't see a reason for _leaving_ the index in a mucked state.
