OK.  My motivation for the ';' was that we should make sure that both
steps of the cleanup are executed.  However, now thinking about it if
regular 'rm -f' can't remove the lock file then all bets are off
anyway.

I was not aware of the test_path_is_missing helper.  I don't think it
matters whether it's a file or a directory, because a stale
.git/index.lock directory would be just as bad.
