Merge branch 'ab/conditional-config-with-symlinks'

The recently introduced "[includeIf "gitdir:$dir"] path=..."
mechansim has further been taught to take symlinks into account.
The directory "$dir" specified in "gitdir:$dir" may be a symlink to
a real location, not something that $(getcwd) may return.  In such
a case, a realpath of "$dir" is compared with the real path of the
current repository to determine if the contents from the named path
should be included.

* ab/conditional-config-with-symlinks:
  config: match both symlink & realpath versions in IncludeIf.gitdir:*

  * Symlinks in `$GIT_DIR` are not resolved before matching.
 
+ * Both the symlink & realpath versions of paths will be matched
+   outside of `$GIT_DIR`. E.g. if ~/git is a symlink to
+   /mnt/storage/git, both `gitdir:~/git` and `gitdir:/mnt/storage/git`
+   will match.
++
+This was not the case in the initial release of this feature in
+v2.13.0, which only matched the realpath version. Configuration that
+wants to be compatible with the initial release of this feature needs
+to either specify only the realpath version, or both versions.
+
  * Note that "../" is not special and will match literally, which is
    unlikely what you want.
