Currently, hf doesn’t seem to list symlinks pointing to files. This isn’t a problem if the files are accessible as regular files too (though some people might prefer having the symlink names available anyway, since their names might be different). However, in some use-cases, the symlinks might point to destinations which are otherwise pruned away (e. g., a file in a dotted directory); this will then lead to some files not available listed for completion at all.
E. g., git-annex stores large BLOBs in git by managing them as symlinks to a path of the form .git/annex/objects/…. I keep notes and lots of other stuff in these repositories, and accordingly none of the filenames are currently given as completions when using hf.
