I followed what some of the other uses of write_script (in other tests) did. I think putting it under .git is slightly better because it won't show up as untracked in the repository but that shouldn't matter here, so I'm happy to change it in a re-roll.

I hadn't considered using test_cmp, if we go that way I wonder if we can do slightly better for future debugging. Something like this perhaps?

+write_script .git/CHECK_SYMLINKS <<\EOF &&
+for f in file file2 sub/sub
+do
+	echo "$f"
+	readlink "$2/$f"
+done >actual
+EOF
+
+test_expect_success PERL,SYMLINKS 'difftool --dir-diff --symlink without unstaged changes' '
+	cat <<EOF >expect &&
+file
+$(pwd)/file
+file2
+$(pwd)/file2
+sub/sub
+$(pwd)/sub/sub
+EOF
+       git difftool --dir-diff --symlink \
+               --extcmd "./.git/CHECK_SYMLINKS" branch HEAD &&
+	test_cmp actual expect

Yes it is based on master. The cleanup on next looks good, I'll base the re-roll on that.
