[PATCH] git-subtree: compare file names by absolute paths

[Ivan Oleynikov <io@metrotek.spb.ru>]

This commit removes false positive assertion fails of `git subtree split` when
the --prefix argument is not in a particular form produced by `git ls-tree`.

For example, typical usage of the command could be:

  git subtree split -b split --prefix=some/relative/path

But

  git subtree split -b split --prefix=./some/relative/path

Would fail with multiple assertion errors. This commit makes the latter command
work without errors.

Notes:
    The bug fixed by this commit can be reproduced like this:
    
    $ git init
    Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/
    $ mkdir a b
    $ touch a/file b/file
    $ git add a
    $ git commit -m a
    [master (root-commit) b42584a] a
     1 file changed, 0 insertions($), 0 deletions(-)
     create mode 100644 a/file
    $ git add b
    $ git commit -m b
    [master 5114301] b
     1 file changed, 0 insertions($), 0 deletions(-)
     create mode 100644 b/file
    $ git subtree split -b split_a --prefix=a
    Created branch 'split_a'
    e9f5d81efacb33ab6cf67fe9ff376b33a483a92f
    $ git subtree split -b split_b --prefix=./b
    assertion failed:  [ b = ./b ]
    No new revisions were found
    
    When the commit is applied `git subtree split` works as expected:
    
    $ git init
    Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/
    $ mkdir a b
    $ touch a/file b/file
    $ git add a
    $ git commit -m a
    [master (root-commit) bc80f36] a
     1 file changed, 0 insertions($), 0 deletions(-)
     create mode 100644 a/file
    $ git add b
    $ git commit -m b
    [master e59c446] b
     1 file changed, 0 insertions($), 0 deletions(-)
     create mode 100644 b/file
    $ git subtree split -b split_a --prefix=a
    Created branch 'split_a'
    d542e9cd2de5956dd7ca77b169dba1c8418fa03a
    $ git subtree split -b split_b --prefix=./b
    Created branch 'split_b'
