Re: [PATCH] Fix for reverting broken softlinks

Well, we haven't actually committed it to trunk yet, which is a first step :)

It looks like a good bug find and fix. Can you write a regression
test as well? The connection between the "revert" code and
compare_and_verify isn't immediately obvious to me, so a test is
especially nice.
