In our own test suite we do e.g. (and did more of that until some recent
changes of mine):

    git mv .git/hooks .git/hooks.disabled

We've never documented in "git init" or the like that these very
optional directories in .git/ were some sort of hard requirenment, and
e.g. core.hooksPath and gitrepository-layout(5) explicitly seem to
suggest otherwise.

In any case, there's the golden rule about being strict in what you emit
and loose in what you accept, which we've taken with repository
compatibility. Having a tool that's designed to aid bugreporting be
picky about what sort of repository it supports seems to go against the
point of such a tool.

Particularly in this case, where it seems easy to just guard it with a
stat() check, or not error out if we fail to add this to the *.zip file,
no?
