I agree that "allow" here can be interpreted in different way. But it
really means:
if allow-symlink == 1
allow symlink to be *stored* as symlink in the repository.
(will re-create symlink on an new checkout)
else
knows nothings about symlink, just use what the symlink point to.
(will have no symlink on a new checkout, just the file the
symlink was originally pointing to)
Normally, for a regular program, a symlink is not made to be dealt with.
If the program does nothing special, it just think the file or directory
it point to is right there. That's what fossil does when allow_symlink
is off.
