[PATCH v4 4/4] setup: Don't dereference in-tree symlinks for absolute paths

From: Martin Erik Werner <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:59:47
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The 'prefix_path_gently' function currently applies real_path to
everything if given an absolute path, dereferencing symlinks both
outside and inside the work tree. In order to manipulate symlinks in the
work tree using absolute paths, symlinks should only be dereferenced
outside the work tree.

Modify the 'prefix_path_gently' to first normalize the path in order to
make sure path levels are separated by '/', then pass the result to
'abspath_part_inside_repo' to find the in-repo part (without dereferencing
any symlinks inside the work tree).

For absolute paths, 'prefix_path_gently' did not, nor does now do, any
actual prefixing, hence the result from 'abspath_part_in_repo' is
returned as-is.

Fixes t0060-82.
