I checked and `pathname-directory-pathname` is redundant, because of the guarantees provided by `ensure-directory-pathname`, but when I look at `get-pathname-defaults`, I am pretty sure it *cannot* be removed in the same way.

After `get-pathname-defaults` any relative pathnames will be resolved by pathname merging, and we should be guaranteed to have an absolute pathname.

AFAICT, `ensure-directory-pathname` can return a relative pathname.

To be honest, I don't know if an absolute pathname is required, but I would have to understand a lot more of `uiop` to be sure it was safe to relax that constraint, so I left it. I'm willing to be convinced if you have more energy than I do.

Best,

P.S. please send diffs with some more context if you can -- I find the following diff flags helpful: `--ignore-space-change -u -F '\''^(def'\''`

    Generally this looks good, but why did you put the change in

They are both exported, so I think it would be better to put it there. That
    leaves us with the following (rather ugly) form:

    (let ((dir (resolve-symlinks*
                         (get-pathname-defaults
                          (pathname-directory-pathname
                           (ensure-directory-pathname
                            dir)))))
           ...)
      ...)

It's redundant to call pathname-directory-pathname on ensure-directory-pathname,
    so we just need the latter.

Indeed, so why did you push the above code to
<URL:https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/blob/b1ffbc47442973a18c43a44f6e17f0ff06ddfafd/uiop/filesystem.lisp >?

I suggest you do that reduction (below)
