SVN commit 1196422 from comment #12 is responsible for bug 275311.

I really like that digikam makes an attempt to follow symlinks when editing
pictures.

However, this is interacting badly with the xmp sidecar code, because digikam
is trying to put the sidecar next to the real file (when I think it makes more
sense to put it near the symlink).  Ideally, I'd like it if digikam tried to
put the sidecar next to the symlink, but then checked if the sidecar was
already a symlink and follow that before editing it.

Also, commit 1196422 has a surprising property.  It doesn't walk symlinks all
the way down.  It only dereferences one.  It should probably resolve them
farther (but not too far...avoid getting stuck in a loop).
