The 'prefix_path_gently' function currently applies real_path to
everything if given an absolute path, dereferencing symlinks both
outside and inside the work tree.
This causes most high-level functions to misbehave when acting on
symlinks given via absolute paths. For example
$ git add /dir/repo/symlink
attempts to add the target of the symlink rather than the symlink
itself, which is usually not what the user intends to do.
In order to manipulate symlinks in the work tree using absolute paths,
symlinks should only be dereferenced outside the work tree.
Modify the 'prefix_path_gently' to first normalize the path in order to
make sure path levels are separated by '/', then pass the result to
'abspath_part_inside_repo' to find the part inside the work tree
(without dereferencing any symlinks inside the work tree).
For absolute paths, 'prefix_path_gently' did not, nor does now do, any
actual prefixing, hence the result from 'abspath_part_in_repo' is
returned as-is.
Fixes t0060-82 and t3004-5.
