I'm troubled by a repository in which I can access certain files only
using the full path specification, but not from within the directory.
The protocol below should explain this.
I have a hunch this may have to do with certain symlinks (stored in
the repository), or maybe with renaming. Any help on debugging this
would be great. Perhaps I've just misunderstood something here...
