Can you explain how this improves on what I had? The time spent appears to be
the same on my system (tested after clearing the filesystem cache):

$ time /bin/sh -c "if [ -d /tmp/tmp-orgtest/ ] ; then chmod u+w -R 
/tmp/tmp-orgtest/ ; fi ; rm -rf /tmp/orbit-egh/"

real    0m0.219s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.000s

$ time /bin/sh -c "rm -rf /tmp/tmp-orgtest || { chmod -R u+w /tmp/tmp-orgtest; 
rm -rf /tmp/tmp-orgtest ; }"
rm: cannot remove 
‘/tmp/tmp-orgtest/org-annex-test11629xxf/.git/annex/objects/jm/P2/SHA256E-s12--a948904f2f0f479b8f8197694b30184b0d2ed1c1cd2a1ec0fb85d299a192a447/SHA256E-s12--a948904f2f0f479b8f8197694b30184b0d2ed1c1cd2a1ec0fb85d299a192a447’:

git-annex version: 5.20150731-1build1. In any case, direct mode is a rather
different use case, as I understand it.
