#8213: Editing symlinked file is replacing the link with the edited file
-----------------------+---------------------------

    Priority:  normal  |  Milestone:
   Component:  sftp    |    Version:  4.5.2
    Severity:  normal  |   Keywords:
Architecture:  Intel   |   Platform:  Mac OS X 10.9
-----------------------+---------------------------
 Using the "Edit" feature on a symbolic link to a file loads the contents
 of the linked file into the editor, but upon saving the symbolic link
 itself is being replaced with a standard file rather than the linked file
 being updated with the edited contents.

 I don't know if this is really just a facet of #1860, but it seems like
 either editing of symlinked files shouldn't be allowed, or the links
 should be traversed in both directions, when loading and when saving.
