This test was put in, but commented out in fed1b5ca (2007-11-09,
git-checkout: Test for relative path use.)
It's been a while since 2007 and the intended test case works now.
(I could not find the enabling commit in ls-files however.)

The code in question however did not change into the sub directory,
so we still need to add a 'cd'. Also a test for the file content has been
added. This is already part of the other tests for checkout.

Bisects to v1.5.5-rc0~184^2~3 (setup: sanitize absolute and funny paths
in get_pathspec(), 2008-01-28).  Thanks.

Do you want me to resend a reworded patch, or could you amend that
information to this patch?

Added locally, along with a couple of other nits.  Will push out soon,
and then a sanity check on the result would be much appreciated.
