It looks like t3903 uses "ls -l" for this sort of test, perhaps
something like this covers these cases better:
write_script .git/CHECK_SYMLINKS <<\EOF
for f in file file2 sub/sub
do
ls -l "$2/$f" >"$f".actual
done
EOF
...
workdir=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)
grep "-> $workdir/file" file.actual
grep "-> $workdir/file2" file2.actual
grep "-> $workdir/sub/sub" sub/sub.actual
It looks like we already rely on that output format in t3903 so I think
that is safe, but it would be nice to have a better way to say "does
this link point to that file?". I can't think of a way to do that that
doesn't seem far too complicated for what's required here.
