Hi,

        I'm running fossil version [2255e4e3ba] 2009-12-20 02:58:18 UTC on UNIX 
(and linux) and am trying to import about 1 Gig of files (it's a Linux 
distribution and tool set for a propriety system).  When I do this the import 
works but a subsequent pull fails.  There is one directory (target/include) 
that only contains links  which are pointers to .h files to elsewhere in the 
distribution.  

0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx TG1   23 2010-04-11 17:29 cvmip.h -> ../../executive/cvmip.h
                                :
                                :
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 xxx TG1    1 2010-04-11 17:29 open-license -> .

When I import this into Fossil it shows lines like this for each of the files 
in this directory:

Add ./xxx/target/include/open-license/open-license/open-license/open- 
license/open-license/open-license/open-license/open-license/open-license 
/open-license/open-license/open-license/open-license/open-license/cvmip. h

The import makes it past these files and completes the rest of the files in the 
set.  But when I try to make a working directory from the repository the open 
stops after pulling these files and showing similar lines when pulling the 
files.  The subsequent files in the set are not copied out but do show up in 
the Fossil Files list (in the UI).

I know my Fossil is old but I've been keeping consistent version of a bunch of 
machines and haven't had any troubles till now.  Is this a problem that would 
be fixed in a newer version of Fossil ?  Any other suggestions on what I can 
do. 

Don't know if this will help but the project is a mostly standard Debian MIPS 
distribution with proprietary extensions).  Others have probably put a Linux 
distro into Fossil and I was hoping for some suggestions if you encountered 
this problem.
