Once GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM (the eventual name for GIT_ONE_FILESYSTEM) was accepted, we stopped setting GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES in our environment.

Even so, the way our filesystems work, stat() or lstat() calls on the paths that we used to have in GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES wouldn't have caused a problem.

I don't personally have an objection to patches that explicitly access the GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES paths, but it seems like other folks' configurations could be harmed by them.
