Add symlink method to util.opener. Differences from os.symlink: - the symlink name is relative to the opener base directory - if a file with that name already exists, it's removed - if necessary, parent directories are created - if the system (OS or filesystem) doesn't support symlinks, a regular file is created. Its contents are the symlink target.

#!/bin/sh

hg init
echo a > a
hg ci -Am t

hg mv a b
hg ci -Am t1
hg debugrename b

hg mv b a
hg ci -Am t2
hg debugrename a

echo % test with --rev
hg debugrename --rev 1 b
