Yeah, right. I made this change in the next version.

I also think it would make more sense for all the tests in this test script to arrange to remove it before cloning in case the clone fails in weird ways. So I am adding a preparatory patch to do that in the next version then.

I agree it would be a bit better, so, in the next version, I moved the "test_when_finished ..." line above the other one. I did that for the "clone with 'KnownUrl' and empty url, so not advertised" test below too.

While at it, I think it's also a bit better to add `test_when_finished "rm -rf client"` to these 2 tests, to protect the following test in case the clone actually succeeds. So I have added that in the next version.

Thanks.
