symbolic links as nested tree roots

For each nested tree represented by a symbolic link, record the path
to the link in snapshots but follow the link to apply Mercurial
commands to the actual repository.

The 'fclone' or 'fseed' commands do not preserve symbolic links, they
create a directory instead. One consequence of this is that if a
forest contains more than one path to the same repository, a clone of
this forest or a forest populated based on a snapshot of it will
contain more than one copy of the original repository.

Thanks to "Eric Bloodworth" <ergosys at gmail.com> for reporting this.
