When `vc-follow-symlinks' is `ask' (the default) Emacs follows links for
files under version control, but fails to ask before doing so when any
parent directory is a symlink.
E.g.
/x/y/link (asks)
/x/link/z (doesn't ask)
The following commit changed two occurrences of `file-chase-links' to
`buffer-file-truename' in vc-hooks.el. A third occurrence of
file-chase-links was left alone however, which fools the querying logic
for files where the directory part of the name contains symlinks.

(vc-follow-link, vc-find-file-hook):
Use buffer-file-truename to handle symlinks in any part of the filename.
