 This is something like a follow on to #12112. Basically, this bug was
 fixed by blacklisting the copying of some files. Well I observed that for
 some test-cases I was working on, where I specified `-outputdir`, my local
 output directory was being copied... because its file name didn't match.

 Wouldn't it be better to just not copy any files which are not versioned?
 I guess this won't work if the test suite is being run from not Git, but
 if Git is available that seems like a more accurate test.
