I may have to take breaks now & then and son-wrangle. It's definitely
a permissions thing.

Regarding symlinks, I can git log in both
/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Squeak/ and in
/home/teamjenkins/workspace/Squeak/, so I would expect the su'd
commands to work too. Weird that it's not. Also weird that the changes
file symlink's now root:root, when you clearly ran the command as
jenkins.
