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.

I can't reproduce this in 01832ec. Maybe it was fixed by recent changes?

Tested with

cd /tmp
ln -s /path/to/emacs/git/master/README
/path/to/emacs/git/master/src/emacs -Q --eval '(setq vc-follow-symlinks t)' README

I think your'e right and some recent commit fixed this, perhaps 7b86997 or c1854b1.
