I mentioned that I hacked up a "root cause fix" for some issues in cmake in 1/5. Continuing that this works, but is really just a hack-for-the-hack fix, where we should fix the root cause:

Which actually, is really simple: https://github.com/avar/git/commit/30f2265fd07aee97ea66f6e84a824d85d241e245

As you know we fake up the $GIT_BUILD_DIR for cmake, but then later in the recipe (i.e. here) we have to scurry around and adjust that because for some stuff we mean contrib/buildsystems/out/<path>, whereas in others we mean the original <path>.

So here (and this isn't on you, we had this before) if you run "cmake" and e.g. tweak the mergetools sources we'll need to re-copy them, blah blah blah.

But we can just ... not copy it at all, and have the test-lib.sh learn that some stuff it needs from whatever the "build dir" is, but other stuff is *always* relative to the root of the project.

So, for most of that & the context it simply goes away, we don't need to copy po/is.po, the tests can just know where to find it, ditto mergetools/tkdiff (which is not generated), and the bash completion.
