patching symlinks

[Markus Hoenicka]

I hope I didn't miss something obvious. I tried to apply a patch to a
file which is a symlink to the real file. What happens is that the
.lnk file is patched, rendering it unusable as a symlink, whereas the
real file is not touched. Is this the expected behaviour?

regards,
Markus
