#2942: Formaline: preserve symlinks in git source snapshots
Reporter: Roland Haas

Type: bug
Priority: major

@{557058:8bc23f2a-45c0-477d-8ac4-a5a16c734278} reports:
Formaline currently warns and skips symbolic links when updating its git
source snapshot because update-git-repo.pl only accepts regular files.
This causes valid symlinks, including symlinks to directories, to be
omitted from the stored source tree.
Allow symbolic links through the existing file-type check. When the
temporary hard-link staging tree can represent the symlink, the existing
bulk git add path continues to handle it. If hard-link staging fails,
add a symlink-specific fallback that writes the link target as a Git blob
and stages it with mode 120000, which is Git's native representation
for symbolic links.
Broken symlinks are still refused with a warning and removed from the
desired tracked set, matching the existing behavior for missing files
while making the broken-link case explicit.
The fallback path also avoids shell-quoting the Cactus filename directly
by passing paths and link targets through environment variables before
feeding them to `git hash-object / git update-index`.

#2939: AHFinderDirect: range options for track_origin_source_x/y/z
Reporter: Jordan Nicoules
Status: new
Milestone:
Version:
Type: bug
Priority: minor
Component: EinsteinToolkit thorn
Comment (by Jordan Nicoules):
The PR doesn't change the default value being `""` and matching anything, is that intended?
Maybe I wasn't clear, what I meant was
```
string track_origin_source_x[101] "grid scalar containing the x component of the origin estimate" STEERABLE=recover
{
"None" :: "None"
"[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*[:][:][a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*(\[0-9+\])" :: "name of a grid scalar"
} "None"
```
