rapidquilt changes symlink to file copy when refreshing patch

- add patch adding symlink to series.conf
- sequence with rapidquilt until the patch
- push and refresh patch
Expected: patch still adds symlink
Actual: patch now adds copy of the linked file

The primary problem IMHO is that rapidquilt doesn't really understand the syntax and doesn't apply such patch correctly. If you run scripts/sequence-patch.sh --rapid on current SLE15-SP2 or openSUSE-15.2 branch, you get
> ls -l tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/copyloops/

where the contents of the file created is what was supposed to be the link target:
../../../../../arch/powerpc/lib/memcpy_mcsafe_64.S
(i.e. the path, not the contents of the target file).
