Symbolic Readme.pod breaks formatting

[mackyle]

A "Readme.pod" file is correctly formatted as Perl POD documentation and looks nice.

However, this breaks:

Readme.pod -> somefile.pl
somfile.pl # contains POD

It renders very badly. The entire file gets wrapped into one giant text blob mess.

See https://github.com/mackyle/git-changelog-smudge#readme for an example of the badness.

Sorry, that should be:

Readme.pod -> somefile.pl
somefile.pl # contains POD

The example (https://github.com/mackyle/git-changelog-smudge#readme) has it correct.
