Comment (by augustash):

 To clarify, the
 WP_fix_for_plugin_basename_to_allow_symlinks_2011-07-28.2.patch is a patch
 to the WP_fix_for_plugin_basename_to_allow_symlinks_2011-07-28.patch so
 apply the WP_fix_for_plugin_basename_to_allow_symlinks_2011-07-28.patch
 first then the
 WP_fix_for_plugin_basename_to_allow_symlinks_2011-07-28.2.patch.

 Replying to [comment:14 yincrash]:
 > this patch is incorrect. it only works two levels deep. my issue is that
 that a lot of the jetpack modules are acting screwy when symlinked, and
 their JS and CSS files are 3/4 levels deep in the plugins folder.


 This patch is not incorrect. You're welcome to contribute to it if you
 have found scenarios that have nested paths, but I'll bet those scenarios
 are easily solved by using relative paths to the directory determined by
 this plugin basename patch.
