My original source tree contains a symbolic link (in this case to a
directory elsewhere in the source tree). For my project, I would like to
remove this symbolic link as part of a patch. If this is possible, I have
not figured out how.
I can imagine needing the converse operation as well (adding a symbolic
link). Also, in my online search trying to figure this out, I have found
out others have need for even more complex behavior ("convert the symbolic
link to a regular file with a content equal to what the symbolic link
pointed to, and then patch the new file". See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78435214/how-to-add-a-symbolic-link-in-to-a-patch-using-quilt
for the original request).
What are your thoughts on adding support for handling symbolic links in
patches for some of these use cases? Thank you.
