From: Dan Jacobson <jidanni <at> jidanni.org>

Subject: "Try M-x recover-this-file" warning vs. symlinks
Date: Sat, 15 Feb 2025 04:52:34 +0800

If there is a symlink involved,
$ ls -l
  lrwxrwxrwx 1 jidanni     19 2024-02-13  notes.txt -> Downloads/notes.txt
Then
$ emacs notes.txt
will still auto-save to plain
./#notes.txt#
which is OK, until there is a hangup,
and one does
$ emacs notes.txt
again, but no "Try M-x recover-this-file" warning is given to the user.
emacs-version "29.4"
