Please describe the problem:
SFTP with GVFS destroys symbolic links, if a file operation is made on a symbolic link on the remote file system, the link is deleted and a simple copy of the file is made with the same name

Steps to reproduce:
1. ssh user@host
2. ln -s ../dev/lib_auth/lib_auth.php .
3. ls -lah lib_auth.php 
rwxrwxrwx 1 bayi bayi 28 máj 31 13.30 lib_auth.php -> ../dev/lib_auth/lib_auth.php
4. open in any editor (gedit, mcedit, oowriter tested all) and save the file
5. ls -lah lib_auth.php 
rwxrwxrwx 1 bayi bayi 3,2K máj 31 13.30 lib_auth.php



Actual results:
The file is not a symbolic link anymore, instead it is a simple file with the saved contents. Diff shows me that the original file isnt touched only a new copy is being made

Expected results:
Symbolic Link kept, original file overwritten with new data on save

Does this happen every time?
Yes
