bug#66638: 29.1; `file-relative-name' and symbolic links


From: Bogdan Ruslanovich Drozd
Subject: bug#66638: 29.1; `file-relative-name' and symbolic links
Date: Thu, 19 Oct 2023 16:36:20 +0300

How I found the bug: LaTeX previews were not displayed in Org mode
because the path where the file lies contains a symbolic link
(e.g. `/home/user/docs/org' directory where `/home/user/docs' is a
symbolic link to a directory).

Bug description: `file-relative-name' (in `files.el') doesn't take into
account symbolic links.

How to reproduce:

1. Run `mkdir -p ~/a_dir/org'.

2. Run `ln -s ~/a_dir/org ~/docs'.

3. Run `emacs -Q ~/docs/example.org'.

4. Insert into the file "$2+2=4$", press `C-c C-x C-l', and see that it
does not work.

5. Kill emacs.

6. Run `emacs -Q ~/a_dir/org/example.org'.

7. Insert into the file "$2+2=4$, press `C-c C-x C-l', and see LaTeX
preview.
