Symlink is local parent, executable is other:

  $ if [ -h a ]; then
  >     echo a is a symlink
  >     $TESTDIR/readlink.py a
  > elif [ -x a ]; then
  >     echo a is executable
  > else
  >     echo "a has no flags (default for conflicts)"

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
