What issue are you seeing?

Symlinks are not resolved for project directories (always)? I started it at (shell) path ~/projects/x, while it is really ~/share/1/projects/x, and I got permission prompt to edit every file which is infuriating.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

Uploaded thread: 019d0524-0585-7d40-83ae-f525cce8c65c

What is the expected behavior?

Resolve symlinks to figure where the repository really leads to for all permission checks.
