Subject: t/test-lib.sh: resolve symlinks in working directory, for pathname comparisons
X-Git-Tag: v1.5.6-rc1~7^2
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1bd9c648408e3dd79882ab4c23af3b791c9e3c21;p=git.git

t/test-lib.sh: resolve symlinks in working directory, for pathname comparisons

Without this, some tests will fail because they compare command output
of subprocesses (such as git) with $PWD -- but subprocesses have the
physical path as their working directory, whereas $PWD contains the
symlinked path.  This fixes it.
