However, in principle one could change etags.el so that, when the TAGS
file is in fact a symbolic link, it resolves relative file names with
respect to the base directory of the file, rather than the link. I am
not sure that this is in fact a good idea but, if it is, it should be
eay to implement.
So: either we implement the change to etags.el that I suggest above, or
else I can add a couple of lines in the manual such as:
Notice that, in the usual case of using relative file names, you should
not use a symbolic link to a tags file in a different directory.
Please update the manual. I am not sure which behavior is better,
and if it isn't clear, we may as well leave it unchanged.
