Subject: Now, the root directory must not be a symbolic link.
X-Git-Tag: version_2_3_1
X-Git-Url: https://git.p6c8.net/devedit.git/commitdiff_plain/89df394a2e5dff7d3690e0d55ea3df9f2d5a2ef2?hp=362eeaa190459c405df9a134341fe9923032d16a

Now, the root directory must not be a symbolic link.
Sorry for this, I really would have liked to allow the root directory to be a
symbolic link, but if I would allow this, Dev-Editor would not be able to create
files in the root directory. I'm looking for an alternative...
