[Gnu-arch-users] Link outside of tree.

[David Brown]

Arch has a hard time with a symlink outside of the tree.  Specifically,
I have a symlink into a different config.  Sometimes (such as during a
merge) this symlink isn't pointing to anything valid, and arch breaks.

I would consider this to be a bug.  Although tree-lint passes on the
main tree, later tla fails.  Shouldn't arch be using lstat for these
files rather than stat:

  Error calling `vu_stat' for 
"/home/davidb/asw-p4/efs/efsut/,,star-merge.1066091340.5379.1/,,changeset/new-files-archive/./efs"
 (No such file or directory)
  PANIC: I/O error

./efs is a symlink to tree-efs2/efs, which is another config.

Any suggestions on how to work around this, other than not checking in
the symlink, and creating/deleting it by hand.
