'git format-patch -o <outdir>' did an equivalent of 'mkdir <outdir>'
not 'mkdir -p <outdir>', which is being corrected.

Avoid the usage of 'adjust_shared_perm' on the leading directories which
may have security implications. Achieved by temporarily disabling of
'config.sharedRepository' like 'git init' does.

Changes in v2:
 * squashed and base new tests on 'dl/format-patch-doc-test-cleanup'

Changes in v3:
 * avoid applying adjust_shared_perm

Changes in v4:
 * based on dl/format-patch-doc-test-cleanup and adopt it

Thanks...  but here I am nitpicking again, sorry :)

The previous test case creates the 'patches' directory and leaves it
behind, and this test implicitly relies on that directory to check
that 'format-patch -o' can deal with already existing directories.  So
if the previous test case were to fail early or were not run at all
(e.g. './t4014-format-patch.sh -r 1,137'), then that directory
wouldn't exist, and, consequently, this test case would not check what
it was supposed to.

I think it would be better to be more explicit and self-contained
about it, and create a leading directory in this test case:

   mkdir existing-dir &&
   git format-patch -o existing-dir/side master..size &&
   ls existing-dir/side >list &&

thanks. Your nitpicking is always appreciated.

one question: How about removing this directory first, just to be
sure, that mkdir does create a directory?

I'm not sure I understand...

Do you mean that a previous test might have already created and left a
directory with the same name behind, and then this 'mkdir' would error
out and thus fail the test?  If yes, then you're right with your
nitpicking on my nitpicking ;)  Though instead of 'rm -rf'ing that
directory I would suggest 'mkdir -p' to simply ignore it if it were to
exist.
