[PATCH] test: use test_expect_equal for PATH test, update message

- The old test was quite impossible to debug; the new one shows the difference
  between the two directories, if any.

- "repository" doesn't make sense for out of tree builds. Or tarball
  builds, for that matter.

I was tracking down a weird issue with out of tree builds. I didn't
find the issue (it may have just been cruft from a previously broken
build). In any case, I think the patch is a small improvement.
