commit: note when files are missing

Before, you could experience the following strange interaction:

  $ hg commit
  nothing changed
  $ hg merge
  abort: outstanding uncommitted changes

which confused at least one user in #mercurial.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import errno, os, sys

for f in sys.argv[1:]:
    try:
        print f, '->', os.readlink(f)
    except OSError, err:
        if err.errno != errno.EINVAL:
            raise
        print f, 'not a symlink'

sys.exit(0)
