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?
