Of course not. You are nuts running tests as root.
If "git foo" should refuse to remove a file for revision control
reason, and it does refuse correctly for a non-root user but it
fails to refuse when run as root, then that is a bug and we do
care about it. IOW, I am not saying you are nuts running git as
root.
