           Summary: GitTest.test_create_binary_patch fails if /tmp is
                    symlink
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: hamaji at chromium.org


It seems git add /tmp/.../foo fails if /tmp is a symbolic link because git
considers this operation is done from outside the repository. For example,
typical Mac's /tmp is /private/tmp. In this case, this operation is trying to
modify /tmp_git_test_checkout/foo from /private/tmp/tmp_git_test_checkout/,
which git dislikes.
