Nested links in another directory

Description

Extract the archive and try this:

todo --database TODO.xml --edit 1.1.1 [Return] [Return]

Now there is no exception thrown about devtodo not being able to write to linked databases. Instead it writes to a file with the name of the last linked file, but in the current working directory.

Rather than fixing this by throwing an exception, wouldn't it be more convenient to allow editing linked databases?

A similar problem occurs when you have a symlink to a file in another directory, that is linking to another file in that directory: Its content doesn't get loaded.

File tree:

|-- .todo -> todo/todo.xml (this is the database to be read by devtodo) `-- todo

|--todo.xml (devtodo-link to include.xml) `--include.xml (the contents don't get read)

todo seems not to be capable of handling multiple links to databases in directories at all.
