I for one would love to see it go, seeing as I live in the ghetto

with spurious content.
I understand that the reason it lives in the tree is precisely to
discover problems with such filesystems, but the problem is well and
truly discovered by now and I'd much rather see this kind of thing
tested from within the test suite rather than every time I do "git
status" or "git checkout".
Probably you are not enoyed enough to just go and fix it.
No, that's not actually the case. In reality I was pleasantly
surprised when Junio commented that "perhaps we should remove" that
file; I had always gotten the impression from this list that such a
change would be unwelcome because it's easier to just blame the users
of bad filesystems for choosing those filesystems. I also remember a
comment from Linus to the effect that that file was kept in the tree
precisely _because_ it helped us discover such file systems.
Unfortunately I can't find that message right now but I think it was
about 6 months ago.
If the powers that be will accept a change that removes Märchen I'll
be more than happy to whip up a patch.
