You are right, of course. But again, the issue is not new with this patch.

That's not necessary, IMO. We can just add an unconditional --cache-info
test here and add SYMLINKS to the above test.

Incidentally, I've been running the test_ln_s_add conversions since,
whoa!, two years now, but added test_ln_s only when I cleaned up the
patch for submission. Perhaps it's better when I rip out test_ln_s again.
