2777	Stale symlinks in vfs	andrew_b	slavazanko	"How to reproduce:
1. Create any temporary dir
2. cd to this temporary dir

3. Create two archives:
{{{
  mkdir -p a/b
  touch a/b/d
  ln -s d a/b/e
  tar -cf good.tar a
  rm -rf a
  mkdir -p a/b/c
  touch a/b/c/d
  ln -s d a/b/c/e
  tar -cf bad.tar a
  rm -rf a
}}}

4. Enter to the good.tar and cd to a/b. Symlink e points to d and '''it is not stale''.
5. Enter to the bad.tar and cd to a/b/c. Symlink e points to d and '''it is stale''.

The difference between that symlinks is a deep where symlink is. The deep of 2 or less directories is ok, symlinks are not stale. The deep of 3 or more directories is not ok, symlinks are stale.
