Description:
Can we please have mysql-test.pl accept full (or relative) path file names again ?
It was really convenient in 5.0.x when combined with the shell's auto-complete ability

How to repeat:
In 5.0.x:
cd mysql-test
./mysql-test-run.pl t/gis.test

works and finds the test

in 5.1.x:
cd mysql-test
./mysql-test-run.pl t/gis.test
...
mysql-test-run: *** ERROR: Test case gis (/home/kgeorge/mysql/work/B30825-5.1-opt/mysql-test/suite/binlog/t/gis.test) is not found

whereas :
./mysql-test-run.pl gis

works

Suggested fix:
strip the patch the same way it probably was done in 5.0.x's mysql-test-run.pl

I can not repeat described behaviour with today mysql-5.1 tree:
