Sorry for the confusion. Either keeping what it was or adding a new command [which essentially calls (vc-responsible-backend (vc-follow-link file)) ] would be the best option regarding performance.
Shouldn't the command call find-alternate-file instead? Then you can continue working with buffer-file-name and default-directory inside the symlink target directory. And if you visit any nearby files there, you won't have to call the vc-follow-link for each of them again?
What are the downsides to this approach?
e need to clarify that symlinks are not followed in vc-responsible-backend, and If the first option is adopted, mention that vc-follow-link should be used if link following is desired.
OK, mention where?
