Subject: Implement normalize_absolute_path
X-Git-Tag: v1.6.0-rc0~121^2~3
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ae299be0e5e610027e6492d48d70c1cbb0e9edd8;p=git.git

Implement normalize_absolute_path

normalize_absolute_path removes several oddities form absolute paths,
giving nice clean paths like "/dir/sub1/sub2".  Also add a test case
for this utility, based on a new test program (in the style of test-sha1).
