Re: [PATCH] t2080: fix cp invocation to copy symlinks instead of following them

There's still a failure[1] in t2082-parallel-checkout-attributes.sh
though, which is new in 2.32.0-rc*. The difference is in an unexpected
BOM:

   avar@gcc119:[/scratch/avar/git/t]perl -nle 'print unpack "H*"' trash\ directory.t2082-parallel-checkout-attributes/encoding/A.internal
   efbbbf74657874

I.e. the A.internal starts with 0xefbbbf. The 2nd test of t0028*.sh also
fails similarly[2], so perhaps it's some old/iconv/whatever issue not
per-se related to any change of yours.

I ran t2080 on the same machine (gcc119) to try debugging it but I could
not reproduce the test failure [1]. t0028 also passed here. Could it be
that we are building git differently? I did `gmake CC=gcc NO_CURL=YesPlease`.

The encoding inspection also seems OK here:

matheustavares@gcc119:[/home/matheustavares/git/t]perl -nle 'print unpack "H*"' trash\ directory.t2082-parallel-checkout-attributes/encoding/A.internal
74657874
