Johannes Schindelin 371471cea3 t0060: loosen overly strict expectations
The dirname() tests file were developed and tested on only the five
platforms available to the developer at the time, namely: Linux (both 32
and 64bit), Windows XP 32-bit (MSVC), MinGW 32-bit and Cygwin 32-bit.

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/basename.html
(i.e. the POSIX spec) says, in part:

	If the string pointed to by path consists entirely of the '/'
	character, basename() shall return a pointer to the string "/".
	If the string pointed to by path is exactly "//", it is
	implementation-defined whether "/" or "//" is returned.

The thinking behind testing precise, OS-dependent output values was to
document that different setups produce different values. However, as the
test failures on MacOSX illustrated eloquently: hardcoding pretty much each
and every setup's expectations is pretty fragile.

This is not limited to the "//" vs "/" case, of course, other inputs are
also allowed to produce multiple outputs by the POSIX specs.

So let's just test for all allowed values and be done with it. This still
documents that Git cannot rely on one particular output value in those
cases, so the intention of the original tests is still met.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

	Git - the stupid content tracker

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).

Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list.  The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
