I want directories of my working tree to be linked to from various
paths on my filesystem where third-party components expect them, both
in development and production environments. A build system's install
step could solve this, but I develop scripts and web pages that don't
need to be built. Git's submodule system could solve this, but we
tend to develop, branch, and test those directories all in unison, so
one big repository feels more natural. We prefer to edit and commit
on the symlinked paths, not the canonical ones, and in that setting,
"git pull" fails to find the top-level directory of the repository
while other commands work fine.
"git pull" fails because POSIX shells have a notion of current working
directory that is different from getcwd(). The shell stores this path
in PWD. As a result, "cd ../" can be interpreted differently in a
shell script than chdir("../") in a C program. The shell interprets
"../" by essentially stripping the last textual path component from
PWD, whereas C chdir() follows the ".." link in the current directory
on the filesystem. When PWD is a symlink, these are different
destinations. As a result, Git's C commands find the correct
top-level working tree, and shell scripts do not.
Changes:
* When interpreting a relative upward (../) path in cd_to_toplevel,
prepend the cwd without symlinks, given by /bin/pwd
* Add tests for cd_to_toplevel and "git pull" in a symlinked
directory that failed before this fix, plus contrasting scenarios
that already worked

When no tagger was found (old Git produced tags like this),
no "tagger" line is printed (but this is incompatible with the current
git fast-import).
Alternatively, you can pass the option --fake-missing-tagger, forcing
fast-export to fake a tagger
Unspecified Tagger <no-tagger>
with a tag date of the beginning of (Unix) time in the case of a missing
tagger, so that fast-import is still able to import the result.

It was already what 'git apply' did in read_old_data(), just export it
as a real function, and make it be more generic.
In particular, this handles the case of the lstat() st_size data not
matching the readlink() return value properly (which apparently happens
at least on NTFS under Linux). But as a result of this you could also
use the new function without even knowing how big the link is going to
be, and it will allocate an appropriately sized buffer.
So we pass in the st_size of the link as just a hint, rather than a
fixed requirement.

This is sort of a companion patch to 4723ee9(Close files opened by

This makes test 9300-fast-import pass on Windows for me; quite a few
fast-imports leave temporary packs until the test "blank lines not
necessary after other commands" actually tests for the number of files
in .git/objects/pack/, which has a few temporary packs now.

his way, showing a tag object that points to a bad object:
