Hi Joe, thanks for the quick reply.

I just tried your new branch and for the case I described before, it
works (when I have "allow-symlinks" set to "ON"). 

However, I tried with "allow-symlinks" set to "off" to see how
transversal of directory symlink works and if I do something like this:

  $ fossil add a_dir_symlink

Nothing happens... 

but if I do this:

  $ fossil add a_dir_symlink/a_subdir


All the content of "a_subdir" get added.

Looks like when allow-symlinks is off, if the final target of the "add"
command is a symlink, it get ignored.

Regards,
