Subject: [PATCH] Allow .git/branches and .git/remotes to be missing
Message-ID: <1170376385.28867.13.camel@dv>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1170376385.28867.13.camel%40dv

```
From: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>

Both directories are now obsoleted by .git/config file.  This fixes
"make test" in StGIT with git 1.5.0-rc3.
