            Bug ID: 430024
           Summary: Shortcuts can break git/svn integration functions
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.08.2
          Platform: Debian stable
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal

SUMMARY

Suppose the user has a shortcut to a subfolder of a git or svn working copy. If
the user starts a fresh instance of Dolphin and then uses that shortcut to
navigate to that folder, it seems the git/svn integration fails not realise
this location is part of a working copy, and doesn't show status icons or
context menu options.

If the user navigates to a location where the git/svn root folder is present in
the path/breadcrumb widget (this might be as simple as going to the parent of
the shortcut folder), then it starts working. The user can then navigate back
to the shortcut location, either manually or by using the shortcut, and the
integration continues to work from then on.

It seems like the git/svn integration keeps track of which folders are known to
be working copies, but initially it only examines folders up to the
highest-level folder that is displayed in path/breadcrumb widget - not the root
of the filesystem. This fails in the above situation, where the shortcut name
is the highest-level folder shown on the widget, but on the actual filesystem
it exists below the root of the working copy.

I tested git and svn, but others might also be affected.

Best,
Brendon
