[issue725] can't addremove after replacing symlink with real directory

[Dov Feldstern]

New submission from Dov Feldstern <dfeldstern at fastimap.com>:

(version is 0.9.4)

Starting out with a working directory which looks like this:

.
|-- conf
|   `-- one
`-- config -> conf

I now do the following:
/tmp/test> rm config
/tmp/test> mkdir config
/tmp/test> echo 1 > config/one
/tmp/test> hg addremove
adding config/one
abort: file named 'config' already in dirstate

It doesn't matter if the symlink originally pointed to a directory or a regular
file. Replacing the symlink with a regular file works fine. It's only replacing
the symlink with a directory which fails.

workaround: hg remove the link, commit; then hg add the new directory in the
next changeset. But doing this sort of beats the whole purpose of having atomic
changesets...

Thanks!
Dov
