I guess I don't understand exactly what you're doing here.
Let me explain:
echo "junk1" > file1
ln -s file1 file2
vim file2
This shows file1's contents; ie. "junk1". So, I'm editing the target
of the symlink file, not the symlink file itself. In fact, I'm not sure
how to edit that symlink file, but I don't think that's what you're
asking for.
The problem at hand here is that there is checked-out file, X,
under SVN control, and a symlink Y->X, and Y is outside of
checked-out subtree, and I want to check-in file from inside vim.
I can edit the file as X or as Y, fine. But if I try to check in file
under [symlinked] name Y, then SVN cannot do it.
I need to chase the link in vim and check it in under name X.
