rFBHGX64c01d4af1cd: p4fastimport: work around P4 symlink/directory bug
Summary

The P4 repository can erroneously consider a file to be "inside" a symlink to a
directory. 'p4 sync' (the client) reports an error if it encounters this
situation, but 'hg update' aborts.

Work around the problem by discarding such files. In the testcase, we can't
accept changelist #2, because we have no changelist that deletes the symlink,
so instead we have to ignore the new file.

what happens if we mkdir Main/d/d and then generate Main/d/d/d, does Main/d still show up as a symlink?
