//nix/utils: deal with nix#6579

#183
Opened by sterni at 2022-05-27T14·33+00

nix#6579 breaks the symlink detection code we have. Since it was very limited anyways, the smartest course of action is probably to drop the hacks that made it at least possible to check if a symlink pointed to a real directory.

If we have a specific use for this check, I'd probably rather use the trick at the call site, but given that the depot pipeline will (does) use restrict-eval, it wouldn't work anyways.
