Just a heads-up.

The test is fails because it uses "chmod 0" to enforce an error while
deleting files by "git clean -f -d". This does not work on windows,
because the directories even without write permission on them can be
freely modified (the contained names can be removed). Maybe even the
removal of list permission does not mean a thing either to cygwin or
windows (that last one being more likely the case: it is more wrong).

So git-clean succeeds and the test fails.

It probably can be worked around by opening the file and keeping it open.

The patch below may fix it (haven't tested yet).

Keep the file open to: the OS does not allow removal of open files.
The saner systems just have a saner permission model and chmod 0
is enough for the test.
