An "add --chmod=+x" test recently added by
610d55af0f ("add: modify
already added files when --chmod is given", 2016-09-14) used "xfoo3"
as a test file. The paths xfoo[1-3] were used by earlier tests for
symbolic links but they were expected to have been removed by the
time the execution reached this new test.
The removal with "git reset --hard" however happened in a pair of
earlier tests, both of which are protected by POSIXPERM,SANITY
prerequisites. Platforms and test environments that lacked these
would have seen xfoo3 as a leftover symbolic link that points at
somewhere else at this point of the sequence, and the chmod test
would have given a wrong result.
