Ok got it fixed in cvs. Two ways to links now:

#REDIRECT [[Category:Music]]
Will add the article to the category and redirect to it.

#REDIRECT [[:Category:Music]]
Redirect but do NOT add it to the category music.

Only second half of bug fixed by Ashar's patch.
Pages categorized into a redirected category still do not appear in the
redirection target.

Set "severity" to "enhancement".

Perhaps this would be best solved by not allowing people to actually link
articles to redirected categories. This could be accomplished by giving an
error message with the suggested replacement, by automatically altering the text
right as it is saved. Alternatively, a bot could periodically clean up articles
linking to redirective categories. -B.

It is realy a complicated issue

• first not to include the the redirected category in the target one and
• seccond display the articles AND subcategories from the redirected category

in the target one.
There are many possibilies which sould be handeled / disabeled:

• putting a colon before the category
• putting a colon xx colon before the category (as :en: for en.wikipedia)
• redirecting to another namespace
• redirecting to another project (another language, quotes, whatever else)

Is this really resolved? How should I redirect a category then?
