Not only is this specific to the shell cd command, it's also
shell-specific. tcsh puts you in A/B/C/D, as does Solaris /bin/sh, but
bash and Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/sh put you in D.

The shell cd command is a little weird, I think mainly because it's
trying to paper over automounter symlinks. It's not a particularly good
precedent to follow. It's also a bit more complicated than what we're
currently doing in apr_filepath_merge and the new
svn_path_canonicalize. Observe:

  $ cd /tmp/d
  $ pwd
  /tmp/d
  $ /bin/pwd
  /tmp/A/B/C/D
  $ cd ..
  $ pwd
  /tmp
