Hello,

I've come across another instance where `got send' doesn't seem to
assemble the packfile correctly, this time using symlink.

The full reproducible example follows, but the gist is that `got send'
fails to upload a commit that includes an added symlink to a file
already in the repository.  `git push' works with the commit produced by
`got ci'.

Thanks,

Omar Polo
