And yet we do so all the time, adding tests for the things we consider
most likely to break in the future and omitting them for breakages that
seem unlikely. Otherwise, what frees us from the obligation to add a '!
test -x "$GIT_DIR/config"' following every single git operation?
But it's OK with me, we can add a test.

I think the logic should be
if test_have_prereq POSIXPERM && test -x "$1/config"
, right? If the system doesn't have POSIXPERM, then aren't all bets off
regarding file permissions?
