Because we cannot know where $(pwd) is when lazy prereq is evaluated (it typically is at the root of the trash hierarchy, but not always) and we would not want to add, leave or remove random files in the working tree that are not expected by the tests proper (e.g. a test that counts untracked paths are not expecting ds/ to be there), your actual "fix" may need to be a bit more careful, though.
