This patch create a configuration variable PATH_MAX that corresponds with the value in limits.h. The value of PATH_MAX, if supplied, is added to BASIC_CFLAGS and will validate with limits.h. PATH_MAX is also added to GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS and is available in the git test suite. This patch also creates a test_expected_success_cond, taking a single function as first argument. In the t0001-init.sh case, subtest 34 this function is test_path_max_is_sane, although any 0/1 returning function can be used. The prototype allows the long base path test to be skipped if PATH_MAX is less than 2048 bytes.
OK, but...

... why would you want to skip this test? If I'm reading the test case correctly, it requires only a path length of 127 plus whatever your build directory is plus a score for the trash directory. That should pose a problem only if your system is even more crippled than Windows with its PATH_MAX of 260.

This can probably be reduced to test_path_max_is_sane () { test "${PATH_MAX:-4000}" -ge 2048 } (Style note: we have a blank before the () pair in shell scripts.) -- Hannes
