[PATCH v2 4/6] git-check-attr: Normalize paths

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Aug 4, 2011, 04:47 UTC
Message-ID
<1312433268-11385-5-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<1312433268-11385-1-git-send-email-mhagger@alum.mit.edu>

Normalize the path arguments (relative to the working tree root, if applicable) before looking up their attributes. This requires passing the prefix down the call chain.

This fixes two test cases for different reasons:
* "unnormalized paths" is fixed because the .gitattribute-file-seeking
  code is not confused into reading the top-level file twice.
* "relative paths" is fixed because the canonical pathnames are passed
  to get_check_attr() or get_all_attrs(), allowing them to match the
  pathname patterns as expected.
