We may have this in the bug database already. However..
status confirmed
importance medium
The cause is that symlinks are pointers, not containers. There are two
possibilities:
a) - you want to version files not inside your tree.
b) - you want to version files inside your tree already.
For b), just add them at the paths they are actually at.
For a), you can't version files outside your tree. You need to either
make your tree start higher up the filesystem, or copy the files into
the tree.
We should change bzr to not crash and instead explain better, when this
is attempted.
