t0060 does not pass on Windows with this change. Bash's path mangling strikes again, but the real reason for the failure is that test-path-util does not normalize its input before it calls into longest_ancestor_length(). It is not sufficient to reduce the test cases to normalized ones, because due to path mangling on Windows they are turned into unnormalized paths (with backslashes instead of forward slashes).

I suggest to export the new normalize_ceiling_entry() and use it from test-path-util. Then don't change or remove existing tests.
