After creating a symlink to a file I checked the file into my repo and it worked fine up to the point when I shared the repo with my teammate who is using Windows (his code goes into branch 'devui', mine is on the default branch).
If I switch from his latest changes (being on branch 'devui') to my default branch using hg upd default I get this message:
abort: could not symlink to '...<complete contents of symlinked file here>...':
File name too long: <symlink-filename>
This occurs after about half of the checkout so only a part of the files will be updated and the rest of the files (after the abort) is missing.
I also tried a fresh clone and hg upd -C default leading to the same result. In the moment my 'default' branch is in an unusable state and I cannot get back to my branch. I can get back to the revision before the 'devui'-branch was created though.
所以我的问题是：是否可以跳过错误的符号链接，忽略中止并继续处理其余文件？（我可以轻松恢复该文件）。
我在 MacOSX 上使用 mercurial 2.3（通过 brew）。
谢谢你的帮助。
