Subject: [PATCH 0/2] another attempt at make_absolute_path()
Message-ID: <11855634561516-git-send-email-bradford.carl.smith@gmail.com>

Here's my attempt at make_absolute_path() and friends.  I think this
version handles symlinks cleanly to avoid problems with '..' path
elements Junio pointed out recently.

I built these with another patch I previously submitted to make
git-config consistently use lockfile.c routines and tested it with the
regular test suite plus some extra tests Junio sent to the list for
checking git-config symlink handling.

I also built a separate executable with just the path handling routines
in it and spot-checked several cases to make sure it appeared to be
working as expected.  ('/', loop of symlinks, lots of extra slashes, .
and .. elements, etc.)

Best Regards,

Bradford
