[PATCH] t9903: Don't fail when run from path accessed through symlink

From
Torstein Hegge <hegge@resisty.net>
Date
Apr 11, 2013, 18:53 UTC
Message-ID
<20130411185322.GF14619@pvv.ntnu.no>
When the git directory is accessed through a symlink like
  ln -s /tmp/git /tmp/git-symlink
  cd /tmp/git-symlink/t
  make -C .. && ./t9903-bash-prompt.sh

$TRASH_DIRECTORY is /tmp/git-symlink/t/trash directory.t9903-bash-prompt and $(pwd -P) is /tmp/git/t/trash directory.t9903-bash-prompt.

When __gitdir looks up the path through 'git rev-parse --git-dir', it will return paths similar to $(pwd -P). This behavior is already tested in t9903 'gitdir - resulting path avoids symlinks'.
