Doesn't work when venv uses symlinks

[PerchunPak]

My .venv only contains symlinks, and p12y always says Patch appears to be already applied, skipping.... Same was with p12y commit, git didn't detect any changes, because it stores symlinks as a file with one line (path to another file)

I have just noticed that symlink mode is discouraged, but I still wanted to report this for future users. One solution would be to replace symlink with a copy of the file (cat to_patch.py > to_patch2.py && mv to_patch2.py to_patch.py) before patching.
