workspace file tree does not follow `ln -s`

[Morabaraba]

I have a workspace /home/ubuntu/workspace and inside the dir I have a symlink ln -s /opt/prjx prjx. I see the folder but I can not expand it in the tree view.

This might be for security? or my symlinks is just wrong. I tried relative symlinks with no success.

lrwxrwxrwx  1 usr usr   15 May  9 12:05 prjx -> /opt/prjx/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 usr usr    7 May 10 21:33 tmp -> ../tmp/

With the current implementation, the tree view doesn't work with symlinks, even when you keep the symlinks within the domain of the mounted workspace.

a work around is to use fuse and mount your filesystem over ssh. It seems to allow c9v2 to follow the symlink.

I think we can try looking over C9v3's vfs plugin, but probably v3 also carries the same problem
