I wasn't thinking of anything that complicated, though of course it would 
suffice. I was just wanting the longstanding behavior.

Yes, that's the main annoyance I was thinking of.

I don't want to do that. I want to edit just one file and have it affect 
everything I'm working on, without hassling me about it. Better, I suppose, 
would be setting vc-follow-symlinks to t, but that sounds too drastic for other 
stuff that I'm working on, where the default value 'ask' is often the right 
thing to do.
