This is not completely followed in my tests. If .git is a true
symlink, its link is relative to .git itself. When .git is a file, it
would be more difficult to calculate path relative to .git (you can't
chdir to a file).

I'm not sure I understand:

 git init repo
 cd repo
 mv .git .git.real
 ln -s .git.real .git

The path ".git.real" is relative to "repo/", not "repo/.git/", no?
 
In other words, I don't you think you have to worry --- the test

In my tests, the link is relative to .git's parent
directory, not .git.

seems right.
