Disclaimer: I'm new to version control, perhaps I do not understand
the situation.  These are the steps to reproduce the problem:

$ mkdir vc-emacs-test
$ cd vc-emacs-test
$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/vc-emacs-test/.git/
$ mkdir dir directory
$ echo test >dir/test
$ git add .
$ git commit -a -m "one"
Created initial commit cdd09ae: one
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 dir/test
$ rm -rf dir
$ ln -s directory dir
$ emacs-snapshot -Q

^X v d

now in buffer *vc-dir* looks like this:


VC backend : Git
Working dir: /tmp/vc-emacs-test/
Branch     : master

                          ./
     unregistered         dir
                          dir/
     removed              dir/test


move cursor on this line type 'i' to register.  Following error
messages are displayed:

on the last line, copied from *Messages*:
vc-do-command: Running git update-index --add -- dir...FAILED (status 128)


In buffer *vc*:

error: 'dir' appears as both a file and as a directory
error: dir: cannot add to the index - missing --add option?
fatal: Unable to process path dir




I think this is a bug because emacs should handle this case (at least
with a sensible message what to do).

Actually this happend in a "real" scenario, I decided to reproduce a
minimalistic example. 

Thank you for emacs and version control in emacs,
Gregor

VC is not really prepared to deal with arbitrary commands on symlinks,
so it's not surprising that this corner case fails.
Changing a directory into a symlink between to VC operations is not
something that happens very frequently...
