Since Darcs doesn't support symbolic links, it will print a message saying so when a user tries to add a symlink to version control. This is not the case when a symlink points to a directory, in which case it's followed and 'darcs add' operates on a target directory instead. This behaviour is inconsistent and leads to confusion.
