Sure, whatever, but you never explained how the link was created.  Symlinks don't just magically appear.   Based on what you wrote before, I (and everyone else reading this) were thinking that you did the equivalent of this:

   hg init oldrepo  # at some point in the past, to create the repo.
   # ... make changes to files in oldrepo, pull, commit, push, etc...
   mv oldrepo oldrepo.orig
   cp -Rp oldrepo.orig oldrepo

If you saying there's a link present, then you must have run at least one additional command, but no-one has any way of knowing what that was.  This is why it's critical to show people the exact list of commands you ran.

Anyway, it's good to hear that you managed to figure out your problem.
