I can't shed any light on what this is trying to do; I had a look
through the mailing list and this arrived in the final version of the
series without any comment.

Looking at it now I can't see why this is a separate function (that is
called with a parameter it never uses).  I wonder if my original
approach was to call this via test_when_finished from the two tests
following this function definition, but that's pure speculation now.

Junio's change is obviously correct as a minimal fix.

I wonder if it's relevant that the "local root" line isn't &&-chained?
Is it possible that on some shells we ignore an error but everything
still works?
