Description Vladimir Kvashin 2012-02-06 11:51:41 UTC 
Some versoining systems (for example ADE) can easily change files with symlinks and vice versa. MasterFS does not change file object instances in this case. Remote FS does. This makes nearly impossible ADE support.

Remote FS should keep FileObject instances in the case a file is changed to a link or vice versa (if it doesn't change from directory to plain file or vice versa)

The partial fix is pushed into cnd-main
http://hg.netbeans.org/cnd-main/rev/84274e459b7a

Still need additional fixes concerning RemoteLinkChild instances and also more tests.
