Subject: [PATCH] t/t2000: modernize path checks to use test_path helpers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Replace old-style path checks using `test -f`, `test -d`, and `test ! -h` with dedicated test helper functions for improved test clarity and consistency.

This modernization improves test script readability by using
Git's dedicated test helpers:
- `test -f` → `test_path_is_file`
- `test -d` → `test_path_is_dir`
- `test ! -h && test -f` →
  `test_path_is_file_not_symlink`
- `test ! -h && test -d` →
  `test_path_is_dir_not_symlink`
Found instances using:
  git grep 'test -[efd]' t/ | grep 'test -[efd].*&&'

Converted 5 instances in t/t2000-conflict-when-checking-files-out.sh
