+eh, it is indeed quite a f...un filesystem: even `chmod` might endup unhappy
+
+```
+chmod +w -R test-repo

+
+and it might indeed take minute(s) for filesytem to become \"consistent\" with expected state.  And it seems that even a minute might not be enough!!!
+
+```
+ok

+(test_script.sh:14):
+sleep 1m
+(test_script.sh:14):
+cat bar
+cat: bar: No such file or directory

+
+<details>
+<summary>with this full tune up script</summary> 
+
+```
+#!/bin/bash
+
+if [ -e test-repo ]; then 
+    chmod +w -R test-repo; 
+    rm -rf test-repo;

+    sleep 1
+    echo -n .
+done
+end_time=$(date +%s)
+wait_time=$((end_time - start_time))
+cat bar
+echo \"Waited ${wait_time} seconds for bar to appear\"
+```
+
+</details> 
+
+it `Waited 450 seconds for bar to appear`... and on this funny system bash would report that file is available so symlink would not be broken to those tests:
+
+```
+$> test -e bar || echo fail
+$> cat bar
+cat: bar: No such file or directory
+```
+
+I will report to sysadmins -- may be they have ideas/feedback ;-)
