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 -d '0 0' -Ama

hg an a

echo "[ui]" >> $HGRCPATH
echo "strict=True" >> $HGRCPATH

hg an a
hg annotate a

echo % should succeed - up is an alias, not an abbreviation

hg up
