Just ran into this problem today. In our project, we have several files that our mirrored, so we use git to manage the symlinks. Today we discovered that you can open a symlinked file, but when you try to go and save it, the symlink is erased and replaced with a brand new file, rather than updating the contents of the file that the symlink points to.
Is this a known issue? Is there any suggested workaround for it? (other than, make sure you don't edit a symlinked file?)
Thanks, Tim
