[PATCH] Handle double slashes in make_relative_path()

From: Thomas Rast <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

If you say

  git --git-dir=/some//path --work-tree=/some/ add <somefile>

then setup_work_tree() will call into make_relative_path() with
abs="/some//path" and base="/some".  (Note how the latter has already
lost its trailing slash.  One unfortunate user managed to trigger this
because his $HOME ended in a slash.)

This means that when checking whether 'abs' is a path under 'base', we
need to skip *two* slashes where the previous code only accounted for
one.  Fix it to handle an arbitrary number of slashes at that
position.
