} The vcs_info '%r' generally works perfect, but when I symlinked a

This is coming from VCS_INFO_get_data_git, in this expression:
gitbase=${PWD%/${$( ${vcs_comm[cmd]} rev-parse --show-prefix )%/##}}
This is computing the value for %R, which is then converted with the :t
modifier into a path tail for %r.
I believe the issue is that because you've symlink'd your way into a
subdirectory, $PWD no longer includes the full path that is being
returned by --show-prefix, so the substitution does nothing.
What I don't know is the desired outcome. Try replacing $PWD in that
function with $(pwd -P) and see if that gives you what you want? Is
that what everyone would expect here?
