test: run testcases with POSIX absolute paths on Windows
Some test cases are skipped on Windows by marking with POSIX prereq.
This is because arguments look like absolute paths (such as /a/b)
for regular Windows programs (*.exe executables, no bash scripts)
are changed to Windows paths (like C:/msysgit/a/b).
There is no cygpath nor equivalent on msysGit, but it is easy to
write one. New subcommand "mingw_path" is added in test-path-utils,
so that we can get the expected absolute paths on Windows. E.g.
COMMAND LINE Linux output Windows output
================================== ============ ===============
test-path-utils mingw_path / / C:/msysgit
test-path-utils mingw_path /a/b/ /a/b/ C:/msysgit/a/b/
With this utility, most skipped test cases in t0060 can be turned on
to be tested correctly on Windows.
