We have even bisected it (and it hasn't hit any released kernel). The original reporter showed it with a simple "rm -r". So it really isn't a git bug, even though I initially thought it might be, before I looked closer. That said, the git patch may be worth it just because two *concurrent* invocations of "git clean" could then cause one (or both) to fail this way. Linus
