[PATCH 3/3] t3600: test rm of path with changed leading symlinks

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

If we have a path "d/f" but replace "d" with a symlink to a
new directory "e", how should we handle "git rm d/f"?

It may seem at first like we need new protections to make
sure that we do not delete random content from "e/f".
However, we are already covered by git-rm's existing
protections: it is happy if the working tree file is either
already deleted, or if its content matches that of the index
and HEAD (and otherwise requires "-f").

Let's add some tests to make sure that these protections
remain in place when used across symlinks. We also want to
make sure that neither the symlink nor the pointed-to
directory is accidentally removed in an attempt to clean up
empty elements of the leading path.
