In my bcannon-objcap branch I am trying to check in a change that involves a soft symlink from Lib/controlled_importlib.py to ../importlib/controlled_importlib.py through ``ln -s ../controlled_importlib.py controlled_importlib.py`` while in the Lib directory. I have done this before in this branch so as to allow for easy importing of code from the svn import of importlib that the branch contains.
I don't know that we've ever tested the commit hook with a link. Maybe there is some other problem. Have you tried running reindent on the actual file (not the symlink)?
Can somebody help me figure out what the hell is going on? I am waiting to find out it is something small and stupid, but at this point I am not seeing a solution to this.
Can you check in a smaller part of the change (like leaving out the symlink)? That will at least allow you to make progress. You can send me the file if you want. I can try to look at it and see if there are any problems. n
