When symlinks in the working tree are manipulated using the absolute
path, git dereferences them, and tries to manipulate the link target
instead.
This is a regression introduced by 18e051a:
setup: translate symlinks in filename when using absolute paths
(which did not take symlinks in the work tree into consideration).
Add a known-breakage tests using the prefix_path function, which
currently uses real_path, causing the dereference.
