Symlink is local parent, executable is other:

Update to link without local change should get us a symlink (issue3316):

  $ hg up -C 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg up
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ hg st

Update to link with local change should cause a merge prompt (issue3200):

  $ hg up -C 0
  1 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
  $ echo data > a
  $ HGMERGE= hg up -y --debug
