Hi,

I just realised that our test setup has a serious problem.  In my 
semi-private builtin-commit branch, there is no runstatus anymore.  Now, 
I got a new toy yesterday, and installed git on it (my fork, including 
builtin-commit), and all of a sudden tests were failing.

The failing tests were t3001 and t4001, because they call runstatus, and 
runstatus is no longer there in the builtin-commit branch.

So why did I not catch this earlier?

Because my prefix is the default prefix, which is $HOME/bin, and which is 
not turned off in the tests.  So git finds "runstatus", because it is 
still installed.

Now, things get worse if you install to /usr/bin/, which I do sometimes, 
too, because you _cannot_ remove that from the PATH.

Okay, so removing a command is not all that common, but that means that we 
have to be extra careful when we do so.

Ciao,
Dscho
