Re: [PATCH] fully resolve symlinks when creating lockfiles

Hi,

Make the code for resolving symlinks in lockfile.c more robust as
follows:

1. Handle relative symlinks
2. recursively resolve symlink chains up to OS limit

FWIW I like what it does, but how.  What is so wrong with just relying on 
is_absolute_path() and make_absolute_path()?  The code would be much 
shorter then, and we need those functions anyway, methinks.
