TestPlatformLimit sounds most appropriate, but since it doesn't exist,
I left the condition as is in the test.

I addressed Aaron's concerns.  I removed the timestamp parameter from
tree.commit.  I extracted a host_os_dereferences_symlinks method and
used that where appropriate.  I think it's not appropriate in the test
itself since it would obscure that the test is otherwise still
Windows-specific.

I changed the test to make it use 'attrib' inside "the diff tool", and
I renamed the test.  This should help clarify that the goal is to
verify that the diff tool can read the files on both sides of the
diff.
