Path.resolve() also fails when last link is absolute.
mkdir testdir
ln -s 0/0 testdir/1
ln -s 1/1 testdir/2
ln -s "$(readlink -f testdir)" testdir/0
Path('testdir/2').resolve() fails:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

Here is a patch which implements an algorithm similar to the algorithm used in posixpath.realpath().
