`git add <<windows 8.3 path to file inside repo>>` results in "fatal: ... is outside repository"

[Anthony Sottile <asottile@umich.edu>]

(In case 8.3 filename isn't a familiar term):

This is distilled down from an actual issue to a minimal testcase.

The original failure involves an automated test while running on azure
pipelines: https://asottile.visualstudio.com/asottile/_build/results?buildId=254

I'm using git on windows

>git --version
git version 2.21.0.windows.1

Here's a minimal case:

git init longname-repo
cd longname-repo
touch f
git add ..\longna~1\f

Here's the output:

C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Temp\t\pre-commit-hooks>git init longname-repo
Initialized empty Git repository in
C:/Users/Anthony/AppData/Local/Temp/t/pre-commit-hooks/longname-repo/.git/

C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Temp\t\pre-commit-hooks>cd longname-repo

C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Temp\t\pre-commit-hooks\longname-repo>touch f

C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Temp\t\pre-commit-hooks\longname-repo>git
add ..\longna~1\f
fatal: ..\longna~1\f: '..\longna~1\f' is outside repository

It is however inside the repository:

C:\Users\Anthony\AppData\Local\Temp\t\pre-commit-hooks\longname-repo>python

>>> import os
>>> os.path.samefile('f', r'..\longna~1\f')
True
