In my bcannon-objcap branch I am trying to check in a change that involves a soft symlink from Lib/controlledimportlib.py to ../importlib/controlledimportlib.py through ``ln -s ../controlledimportlib.py controlledimportlib.py`` while in the Lib directory. I have done this before in this branch so as to allow for easy importing of code from the svn import of importlib that the branch contains.

I don't know that we've ever tested the commit hook with a link. Maybe there is some other problem.

Have you tried running reindent on the actual file (not the symlink)?

Can somebody help me figure out what the hell is going on? I am waiting to find out it is something small and stupid, but at this point I am not seeing a solution to this.

Can you check in a smaller part of the change (like leaving out the symlink)? That will at least allow you to make progress.

You can send me the file if you want. I can try to look at it and see if there are any problems.
