Removing symlink question

I'm not sure why, but all of a sudden I started getting this question every time emacs starts

Symbolic link to Git-controlled source file; follow link?

After some searching I found out that it's VC asking. I'm guessing this comes from straight's very liberal use of symlinks. Though I'm still a little surprised at VC kicking in when reading the config.

Anyway, there are two variables to consider, vc-follow-symlinks and vc-handled-backends. I opted to modify the latter one, and since I don't use VC at all I'm turning it off completely.

(setopt vc-handled-backends nil)
