Many tests depend on that symbolic links work. This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links. Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.
To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:
$ mkdosfs -C git-on-fat 1000000
$ sudo mount -o loop,uid=j6t,gid=users,shortname=winnt git-on-fat /mnt
Clone git to /mnt and
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t0001.1[34] t0010 t1301 t403[34] t4129.[47] t5701.7
t7701.3 t9100 t9101.26 t9119 t9124.[67] t9200.10 t9600.6' \
make test
(These additionally skipped tests depend on POSIX permissions that FAT on
Linux does not provide.)

This is a followup to 7fc35e0e94782bbbefb920875813519038659930,
(workaround a for broken symlinks in SVN).
Since broken SVN clients can commit svn:special files without
the magic "link " prefix, this can affect delta application
when we update the broken svn:special file. So now we fall
back and retry the delta application on symlinks if having
a "link " prefix fails.
Our behavior differs from svn(1) (v1.5.1) slightly:
When a svn:special file is created w/o a "link " prefix, svn
will create a regular file (mode 100644 to git) with the
contents of the blob as-is.
Our behavior is to continue creating the symlink (mode 120000
to git) with the contents of the blob as-is. While this
differs from current svn(1) behavior, this is easier and more
efficient to implement (and the correctness of the svn(1) is
debatable, since it's a workaround for a bug in the first
place).
More information on this SVN bug is described here:
