Of course, it *is* on the published master branc= h. Some broken filesystems may not be capable of checking out and using project files. Too bad. It's not a big deal. It is not limited to this project. We just fix t= hem or work them around and move on. Perhaps we should remove the infamous gitweb/test/M=C3=A4rchen file whi= le we are at it? I do not think the file is ever used.
