Hi,

When performing an `org-publish' if the `:base-directory' property
contians a symlink in its path, then the `theindex.inc' file is not
populated.

I created a repo to help reproduce the bug:
https://github.com/bencef/org-publish-symlink-repro

Please see version information below.

Best Regards,
Bence

I tried to reproduce starting from emacs -Q, and I am unable to.

I did
1. cd /tmp
2. git clone https://github.com/bencef/org-publish-symlink-repro
3. cd org-publish-symlink-repro
4. ln -sf /tmp/org-publish-symlink-repro/long/path/to ./shortcut 
5. emacs -Q /path/to/README.org
6. Open the second relative file link
7. C-c C-e C-f P x <TAB> <RET>

All the files are published correctly, including the index.

Hi Igor,

> 5. emacs -Q /path/to/README.org
> 6. Open the second relative file link

When I do this then when I push `C-x C-f' I see that I'm in the
non-symlinked path.
And that shows up in the source block evaluation as well.

In fact even if I do
```
emacs -Q /tmp/org-publish-symlink-repro/shortcut/something/index.org
```
I end up in the "real" directory.  I'm not sure what's governing this
behavior in emacs.
What I suspect now is the culprit is that the linked directory is on a
different BTRFS subvolume.
In my original case.

Can you try changing the line
```
  (let ((base-dir default-directory))
```
to
```
  (let ((base-dir "/tmp/org-publish-symlink-repro/shortcut/something/"))
```
and see what happens then?

BR,
Bence

Hi all,

Upon further reflection I came to the following conclusions:

There are multiple things at play here (I refrain from using the word "issue"):
- emacs resolving or not resolving true path upon visiting files.
  This is not at all org-related.
- org-publish calling `file-truename' inconsistently during the
publishing process.
  This might or might not be an issue.  I leave it up to your discretion.

The trivial solution to my problem:
instead of
    (let ((base-dir default-directory)) ...)
use
    (let ((base-dir (file-truename default-directory))) ...)

I'll leave the repo on my github "As is" for future reference.

BR,
Bence

May you check which places are not calling `file-truename'?
We should certainly be consistent here, either by preferring relative
paths to the true paths.
