[PATCH 4/5] Make 'diff_populate_filespec()' use the new 'strbuf_readlink()'

[Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>]

From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 10:26:13 -0800

This makes all tests pass on a system where 'lstat()' has been hacked to
return bogus data in st_size for symlinks.

Of course, the test coverage isn't complete, but it's a good baseline.
