A symlink?! This can only cause problems:
  - When 'git' is run on a Windows system (not Cygwin), AFAIK there are
    no symlinks.
  - When 'git' is run on Linux on a vfat file system, there are no symlinks.
  - When you use 'tar' with option 'h' to copy the directory, the copy will
    be different from the original: it will have the symlink replaced by its
    target's contents.
  - When you use 'tar' without option 'h', the copy can not be produced on a
    system or file system that does not support symlinks.

Please, can't you make fdl.texi a regular file? Either with contents

  @include fdl-1.3.texi

or as a copy of fdl-1.3.texi?
