Hello,

I've a cabal-dev project on a filesystem on an encrypted partition. Now I want to `cabal-dev add-source` a project from a filesystem on my unencrypted partition. However I get the following error:

`unsupported operation (Invalid cross-device link)`

I guess cabal-dev tries to make a hard-link from my encrypted partition to my unencrypted partition which is invalid.

Is it possible to create symbolic links instead?
