Revise not working when ".julia" folder is a symlink to somewhere else on the computer system #1004

I work on some form of shared system, where I don’t have much space allocation. Since the .julia folder can get quite large with various stuff, I have put it on a (less fancily backed up,)scratch folder, and replaced my home/.julia folder with a symlink to the actual .julia folder.

Now, this has actually worked without problems so far. However, I have realised this seems to mess up Revise entirely (I have had a long ChatGPT discussion to reach this conclusion).

Is there any good way to make Revise work with this setup? The only solution I have been told is to (in VSCode, when I edit my package), not open the package via the symlink, but navigate to the actual folder. This feels like it would get very annoying very fast though. Is there any other way to make this work with Revise?

This is all on the latest Julia and Revise, on a Linux system, and I generally work in VSCode.
