Bugzilla Bug 211067

I have discovered a case where repoman fails to commit the Manifest on the
second pass. This seems to be related to being in a symlinked location of an
overlay.

On the system where I reproduced this:
/usr/portage is an rsync copy of the tree.
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/code/gentoo/gentoo-cvs/gentoo-x86 which is my CVS checkout.

If I'm under the $PORTDIR_OVERLAY directly, commits work fine.
However, I also have a symlink at /usr/local/portage pointing to the overlay.
If I commit from the symlinked path version, then repoman fails to commit the
Manifest on the second pass.

Short version:
# Works
cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/$CAT/$PN ; ... ; repoman ci -m '....'
# Does not work
ln -s $PORTDIR_OVERLAY /elsewhere ; cd /elsewhere/$CAT/$PN ; ... ; repoman ci
-m '...'

fix path inconsistencies induced by symlinks

zmedico: verified. works 100%.

This is fixed in 2.2_pre3.

This is supposed to be fixed in portage-2.2_pre5 or earlier.
