This makes it easy to take a buffer containing a path with relative
references (i.e. .. or . path segments) and resolve all of those
into a clean path. This can be applied to URLs as well as file
paths which can be useful.
As part of this, I made the drive-letter detection apply on all
platforms, not just windows. If you give a path that looks like
"c:/..." on any platform, it seems like we might as well detect
that as a rooted path. I suppose if you create a directory named
"x:" on another platform and want to use that as the beginning
of a relative path under the root directory of your repo, this
could cause a problem, but then it seems like you're asking for
trouble.
This updates to the latest clar which includes the helpers
`cl_assert_equal_s` and `cl_assert_equal_i`. Convert the code
over to use those and remove the old libgit2-only helpers.
This makes so much sense that I can't believe it hasn't been done
before. Kill the old `git_fbuffer` and read files straight into
`git_buf` objects.
Also: In order to fully support 4GB files in 32-bit systems, the
`git_buf` implementation has been changed from using `ssize_t` for
storage and storing negative values on allocation failure, to using
`size_t` and changing the buffer pointer to a magical pointer on
allocation failure.
Hopefully this won't break anything.
