Nicely explained and executed.

FWIW, it is fine to have a fix and new tests to demonstrate the fix to pre-existing breakages in a single step. It is easier to review when we can see the body of the test (as opposed to just the change s/expect_failure/expect_success/) in the same patch as the change to the code for a focused and small fix like these patches 1 & 2; it is easy to partially revert the patch for such a focused and small fix when a reviewer wants to verify that the new tests fail without the code change.

Make sure that "$prefix$sm_path" is given as a single string to relative_path. I'd probably write this like so:

- prefix="$prefix$sm_path/" + prefix=$(relative_path "$prefix$sm_path")/

Thanks.
