Details:

I have a separate ~/dotfiles folder where I keep my config files that I want
to keep under git. I create a symlink under ~/.weechat/weechat.conf and point
it to ~/dotfiles/weechat/weechat.conf

When I quit weechat, ~/.weechat/weechat.conf gets overwritten by an actual
file instead of the contents of ~/dotfiles/weechat/weechat.conf getting
overwritten.

This seems to be a problem with other conf files as well.
