Can darcs handle symlinks?
No. If you use symbolic links in your working directory, Darcs will just treat it as a regular file or directory. There are three ways of coping with this: • Do not use symbolic links (this may be acceptable if they are personal links for your convenience) • Accept that Darcs treats them as regular files, which means that somebody who retrieves your repository will get not linked files but duplicates • Do not version control symbolic links, but add an “update-symlinks.sh” and version control that.
