Why not? The pattern of not bothering to clean up the work scratch are
is fine as long as it doesn't leave crap around for other tests. See the
referenec to "repo" at[1].

I.e. is this needed for later tests that change in this series, or just
cleanup in case a future test ever cares that there's an untracked
"dirlinks" and "growing" directory at the top-level?
