How the fuck did this excuse for a version control system manage to integrate (merge for anyone who speaks normally) a file into a symlink where the symlink points to a "file" who's name is the contents of the original file. If that sounds confusing, don't worry, it is.

Here's the example. The source directory:

% more startAP
print "Sourcing prod settings"
%

The destination directory:

% dir startAP
lrwxrwxrwx 1 martin users 44 Nov 27 18:35 startAP -> print\ "Sourcing\ prod\ settings"
%

How is that even possible? What kind of dimwit even writes software that can do something so obviously stupid??

Cheers,

Martin.
