Of course, it *is* on the published master branch. Some broken filesystems may not be capable of checking out and using project files. Too bad. It's not a big deal. It is not limited to this project. We just fix them or work them around and move on. Perhaps we should remove the infamous gitweb/test/Märchen file while we are at it? I do not think the file is ever used.
