Many tests that involve symbolic links actually check only whether our algorithms are correct by investigating the contents of the object database and the index. Only some of them check the filesystem. This series introduces a function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link in the index even if the filesystem does not support symbolic links. By using this function, many more tests can be run when the filesystem does not have symblic links, aka Windows. Changes since v1: - Ripped out test_ln_s and corresponding conversions; they were dubious. - There are no changes to t2100 anymore; the corresponding modernization patch is gone. - Moved the t4011 change from the "trivial cases" to its own patch. It still contains the effects of the former test_ln_s, but open-coded and with a comment.
