Oh my, they even think it's a feature.  :-(

https://git-annex.branchable.com/internals/lockdown/

Those shenanigans with symbolic links are a bit cumbersome.

Well, the best solution would be to have an option for git-annex to
switch off that lockdown thing.  Since that's not going to happen soon
or anytime, try something like:

        $(RMR) $(testdir) || { $(CHMOD) -R u+w $(testdir); $(RMR) $(testdir) }

which of course requires the addition of

CHMOD = chmod

in mk/defaults.mk.

But it seems that direct mode (however deprecated it is) would allow us
to do exactly the thing we want, so maybe if the tests would put that
repo in direct mode we wouldn't even need to do that.  But that doesn't
seem to work in a v6 repo unless annex.thin is set to true.  What version
are you testing?
