"Enhance", like "Update" or "Change", is a more-or-less useless
noiseword in a commit title; it does not say much about in what way
it was enhanced.

If we clarify the body of the explanation, a better word emerges, I
would think.  How about this instead?

        t3700: remove unwanted leftover files before running new tests

        When an earlier test that has prerequisite is skipped, files
        used by later tests may be left in the working tree in an
        unexpected state.  For example, a test runs this sequence:

                echo foo >xfoo1 && chmod 755 xfoo1

        to create an executable file xfoo1, expecting that xfoo1
        does not exist before it runs in the test sequence.
        However, the absense of this file depends on "git reset
        --hard" done in an earlier test, that is skipped when SANITY
        prerequisite is not met, and worse yet, xfoo1 originally is
        created as a symbolic link, which means the chmod does not
        affect the modes of xfoo1 as this test expects.

        Fix this by starting the test with "rm -f xfoo1" to make
        sure the file is created from scratch, and do the same to
        other similar tests.
