We should reject a patch, whether it renames/copies dir/file to
elsewhere with or without modificiation, or updates dir/file in
place, if "dir/" part is actually a symbolic link to elsewhere,
by making sure that the code to read the preimage does not read
from a path that is beyond a symbolic link.
