Just to be sure: by "work", you mean "successfully removes the
directory", right?

And now I'm starting to wonder whether other people do have the same
issue. Sure, googling "Git AFP" shows a lot of people having problems
with Git and AFP, but are they really the same problem?

I googled 'git afp "unable to unlink"', and all results except one point
to this thread:

https://www.google.com/search?q=git+afp+%22warning%3A+unable+to+unlink%22

The only one which doesn't actually does not mention afp.

Fairuzan: are you sure you're not the only one having the issue? Can you
give more info on your system (OS version client and server side, ...)?
