git-sh-setup: Use "cd" option, not /bin/pwd, for symlinked work tree
In cd_to_toplevel, instead of 'cd $(unset PWD; /bin/pwd)/$path' use 'cd -P $path'. The "-P" option yields a desirable similarity to C chdir. While the "-P" option may be slightly less commonly supported than /bin/pwd, it is more concise, better tested, and less error prone. I've already added the 'unset PWD' to fix the /bin/pwd solution on BSD; there may be more edge cases out there. This still passes all the same test cases in t5521-pull-symlink.sh and t2300-cd-to-toplevel.sh, even before updating them to use 'pwd -P'. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
