From liw: This is obviously a bug. Obnam should either give an error
if the backup root is a symlink, or back it up as a symlink, not
recurse into the directory and then backup that and only then ruin
everything by backing up the symlink as a symlink.
---
This should now be fixed to give an error message when you backup.
I can't currently give access to the hidden files easily, I'm afraid,
but if you change your backup root to be the directory pointed at by
the symlink, and run a backup, it should go fairly fast and give you
access to your files.
Later, I may consider allowing the root to be a symlink to a
directory, but that'll require bigger changes than this error message,
I'm afraid. Patches to implement this would be welcome.
