SUBSTed drives have a similar problem: you create two paths for the same
real path. And the cache process only gets a change notification for the
real path, not the SUBSTed path. And without those notifications, it
simply can't work properly.
And since it's the OS that sends these notifications only for the real
paths, there's nothing we can do in TSVN about that.
