For the case in the test, git-prune is failing to remove an object
that it should, which won't cause repo corruption.  It will just
cause retention of an object for longer than it is needed. I suspect
this is caused by some flaw in the NFS client (disclosure: IANAKH).

In practice, I don't think you'll experience this flaw.  I think it
shows up in the test because we are manually adjusting the mtime of
the objects and then immediately trying to prune them and this must
tweak whatever code has a bug.

I have been using git on 5.2 for a couple of months now with no problem.
Admittedly, prune is a rare operation, usually triggered by git-gc.
