t0001: handle diff --no-index gracefully
The test case 're-init to move gitdir symlink' wants to compare the contents of `newdir/.git`, which is a symbolic link pointing to a file. However, `git diff --no-index`, which is used by `test_cmp` on Windows, does not resolve symlinks; It shows the symlink _target_ instead (with a file mode of 120000). That is totally unexpected by the test case, which as a consequence fails, meaning that it's a bug in the test case itself. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
