test.sh doesn't work in BSD-ish (OSX) systems #1504

Description

@ErinCall

In order to facilitate running as a git hook, Line 6 of test.sh says:

cd $(dirname $(readlink -f $0))

BSD readlink's -f is "format", not "canonicalize" like in GNU readlink. Tiresome. I tried patching it to this:

ABSPATH=$(readlink -f $0) || ABSPATH=$(readlink $0)
cd $(dirname "$ABSPATH")

But then invoking test.sh directly doesn't work, because BSD readlink doesn't print anything at all if its argument isn't a symlink. At that point I gave up.

BSD mktemp also diverges from GNU's version. This is a problem with the invocation on line 12. I haven't dug into it in any detail.
