            Bug ID: 5027
           Summary: during an update or merge, the unknown file check
                    dereferences symlinks
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.6.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: feature
          Priority: wish
         Component: Mercurial
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
          Reporter: sid0 at fb.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com

There are several bugs of the kind:

hg init
echo a > a
hg st
hg add a
hg ci -m a
hg up null
ln -s .hg a
hg up

expected: abort because the untracked 'a' differs from the 'a' in the commit
actual: update silently succeeds
