Some broken filesystems may not be capable of checking out and using
project files.  Too bad.

It's not a big deal.  It is not limited to this project.  We just fix them
or work them around and move on.

Perhaps we should remove the infamous gitweb/test/Märchen file while we
are at it?  I do not think the file is ever used.
