tmux uses file descriptors for paths now which is more robust but this
is one of the side effects.
There was talk of preserving PWD to give some shells a hint about
symlinks but I forget what happened to it, it may be one of the two
environment handling diffs in my inbox although neither looks like it.
You could try fiddling with putting PWD in update-environment and see if
that helps, or stick something like this in your .profile (this is what
I used to do when my home was a symlink):
[ "x${PWD#/data/home/}" != "x$PWD" ] && cd ~/${PWD#/data/home/}

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works.
Faster operations. Version large binaries. Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
