Yes, that was a good hint, thanks.
The "problem" is that I am Admin on one machine, but not on the other,
and / was writable for the admin group for some reasons, and only on this machine.
But, why does e.g. t0004 behave more gracefully (and skips) and t5539 just dies ?
./t0004-unwritable.sh
ok 1 - setup
ok 2 # skip write-tree should notice unwritable repository (missing SANITY of POSIXPERM,SANITY)
(And after changing the group of / t5539 passes, and so does t0004)
