It started exporting a isSymbolicLink which supports windows. But,
git-annex does no use symlinks on windows yet and this conflicts with the
function by the same name from unix-compat, so hide it.

Unfortunately, this caused breakage on Windows, and possibly elsewhere,
because parentDir and takeDirectory do not behave the same when there is a
trailing directory separator.
parentDir is less safe than takeDirectory, especially when working
with relative FilePaths. It's really only useful in loops that
want to terminate at /
