I think we already have code to avoid adding beyond symlinks. "git add deep/in/the/tree" should refuse if deep/in is a symbolic link (and happens to point at a directory that has the/tree in it). We used not to catch that long time ago, but I think we fixed it. The logic and the places to do the checks for "no, that thing may be a directory but is an unrelated repository" should be the same. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
