Thanks for raising - I can see I need to fix the pipelines!

I'm not in a great position to try this out fully - Wondering what combinations you have tested?

For example is it possible that p4 info might itself return a symlink in the "Client root" field? (I don't know the answer, but it seems likely if you specified your client root as a symlink then p4 info would return that symlink back to you)

In which case, by only following the real path we might break previously working cases where both the client root and the workspace are both symlinks.

This allows the extension to know the files are in the perforce workspace, but it seems perforce automatically expands the symlinks, so commands (i.e. p4 opened) show the symlinks as not being in the perforce workspace; I need to work on it more to ensure everything works with a symlink client root.

I don't have time to get everything working with the symlink workspace right now, but I believe the current code will not hurt anything, just give a partial solution which myself or others can expand on later.

I just created an issue regarding this: #298. This pull request is quite old. Can we still expect some activity, or is help required for testing?
