Unwanted, no, but unrelated yes.

Use '$new_workdir' instead to match the existing message below?

The comment in the original is somewhat misleading, but "test -e"
was "test -e" and not "test -d" to stop when an existing file was
given by mistake as $new_workdir, I think. I do not know what
happens in the new code in that case.
