A much more minor issue:

The current handling of symlinks to directories is inconsistent.  They 
show up as unknown '?' in hg status, but adding them to revision 
control fails.  It doesn't seem like there should be any difference 
between these symlinks and those that reference files, or even nothing 
at all.
