I am in receipt of your patch. I have not evaluated it yet because the entire symbolic-link mechanism in Fossil is confused and very difficult to manage. It mostly works now, but is brittle. A seemingly simple patch like what you sent could cause breakage. I am very sorry that I allowed symbolic link support into Fossil in the first place. (Symbolic link support was neither designed nor written by me - it is contributed code.) I would really like to get rid of symbolic link support. Symbolic links seem out-of-place in a version control system. As implemented, symbolic links are a point of confusion which (as far as I can see) adds no useful capabilities. -- D.
