This is <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/81689>; you can
subscribe or mark it as affecting you (quasi-vote) if you like.

It looks like the two options proposed there are:

1- just skip them
2- make Windows symlink-like things
3- and I guess another is to write a plain file with the contents of the link

It seems to me that if we can do filtered views then we should be able
to do something similar with 1.

If I get to do this, I'd probably change the wt and treetransform to
use a Transport at least for making symlinks, so that we have a
central point to turn them off on unix for testing, etc.
