What's "some system"?
Is this a platform's bug (e.g. "test -d" does not work correctly)?
Is this an configuration error of user's Git repository?
Is this something else?
I _think_ you would see the problem if $d/remotes is a directory
whose contents cannot be listed (e.g. "chmod a= $d/remotes"), and
that would not be a platform's bug (i.e. "test -d" would happily say
"Yes there is a directory", and "ls" would fail with "Permission
denied"). But I wonder if we rather want the user to notice that
misconfiguration so that the user can correct it, instead of hiding
the error message from "ls".
