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.
