You are nuts running tests as root.\n\nIf \"git foo\" should refuse to remove a file for revision control\nreason, and it does refuse correctly for a non-root user but it\nfails to refuse when run as root, then that is a bug and we do\ncare about it.  IOW, I am not saying you are nuts running git as\nroot.\n"}]}
