Hello,
Darcs seems not to be able to follow symbolic links: i think this may sometimes
be usefull.
For exemple I am using darcs for a Web project containing mysql bases, located
in /var/lib/mysql/ that I cannot update from my project (which contains symbolic
link to that rep, or one of its subdirs) using darcs add :

$darcs add * -r 
[...]
File link does not exist!
[...]

Of course I could use a script to check file changes and copy it into /var/lib/mysql
using cron, but that's not the best way I think.

What do you think about it ?

Thanks,
Thibault
