[issue1700] Changing directory to symlink fails with error ... traverses symbolic link

[Jeri Crowley]

New submission from Jeri Crowley <jcrowley at micron.com>:

I am unable to have a directory and then change it to a link.

hg init a
cd a
mkdir link
echo hi >link/msg
hg ci -Am'link is directory'

cp -r link b
rm -r link
ln -s b link
hg status link
hg ci -mA'link is link'
