 vc-follow-symlinks doesn't work after commit e8001d4c27 "Do not munge
 contents of local symbolic links"

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Using (setq vc-follow-symlinks t) after emacs -q no longer seems to have any effect after commit e8001d4c27 "Do not munge contents of local symbolic links". That is, using this setting, I expect visiting a symlink to a version controlled file to take me to the directory of the original file (which was the previous behavior), but now instead of that I am kept in the symlink directory. If I revert this commit, the behavior goes back to normal.
