Merge branch 'mh/maint-ceil-absolute'

An earlier workaround designed to help people who list logical
directories that will not match what getcwd(3) returns in the
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES had an adverse effect when it is slow to
stat and readlink a directory component of an element listed on it.

* mh/maint-ceil-absolute:
  Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
