In 1.7 we didn't try reading symlinks for opening a working copy, while in
1.8 and trunk we do try to read the symlink. So working copies that did work
in 1.7 are not working any more.
I would call that a regression.
But I don't know if reading the symlink to find the working copy is the
proper solution here. But we had the same problem when we discussed that bit
of code last time.
