Ouch.  Thanks for a reminder.  How about doing this for now?

Subject: [PATCH] t3700: fix broken test under !SANITY

An "add --chmod=+x" test recently added by 610d55af0f ("add: modify already added files when --chmod is given", 2016-09-14) used "xfoo3" as a test file. The paths xfoo[1-3] were used by earlier tests for symbolic links but they were expected to have been removed by the test script reached this new test.

The removal with "git reset --hard" however happened in tests that are protected by POSIXPERM,SANITY prerequisites. Platforms and test environments that lacked these would have seen xfoo3 as a leftover symbolic link, pointing somewhere else, and chmod test would have given a wrong result.
