[Gnu-arch-users] tla-cygwin doesn't remove symlinks

I'm not sure what exactly triggered this error, but I went to download
the FAI from.
It checks the repository, and then determines that it can get a cached
version. It waits a little while longer, and then complains that it
cannot remove a directory because it isn't empty (I'm guessing =dirnames
is still in there.)

I am using a greedy,sparse revision library

When I try to look at the directories, I find that I can follow all of
the directories until the final ,,get-patch.*, but there is a directory
0, with nothing associated in "=dirnames" so I can assume that is it.
Inside is a directory "fai--dist--0.2--patch-6" with what appears to be
a symlink "dateutil"

So what actually seems to have happened is that it went to remove some
sort of temporary directory, but didn't delete the symlink.

Attached is the output.

By the way, this prevents me from downloading fai, since it does the
same thing without the cached entry. (I tried downloading --patch-5,
which the last cached entry is something like 80 patches ago, and it
fails on address@hidden/pyaba--dist--0--patch-67)

Any ideas?
