Renamed file considered deleted inside directory junction

Tái hiện vấn đề trên Windows với một cấu hình NeoVim được lưu thông qua một directory junction, sau đó đọc script/filewatch.lua:18 và theo dõi cách xử lý việc đổi tên được thể hiện trong các log. Được xem là hoàn tất khi việc lưu init.lua không còn khiến language server coi đường dẫn junction là đã bị xóa, trong khi hover và go-to-definition vẫn tiếp tục hoạt động.

Expected Behaviour

LS correctly works with files inside directory junction or symlinks.

Actual Behaviour

LS functionality stops working after saving such a file in editor.

Reproduction steps

1. Enable LuaLS in NeoVim.
2. Put NeoVim config files inside directory junction. E.g. I have init.lua file in directory C:\dev\dotfiles\nvim and I've created the junction to that directory in C:\Users\RobotComp.ru\AppData\Local\nvim. NVim reads config files from C:\Users\RobotComp.ru\AppData\Local\nvim.
3. Open init.lua in NVim, change something and save it with :w command.
4. After that, any interactions with LS stop working (hover, go to definition, etc.)
5. If I re-edit file with :e % command, everything starts working again.

Additional Notes

I did some research and found the following.

When saving init.lua, NVim renames it several times (to init.lua~ and back). Don't know why.
The logs (see error.log) show that the filewatch(rename) function is called on LS, which calls isExists().
And although the file exists, isExists() returns false, so the file is considered deleted, and the LS "forgets" about it.

More specifically, the problem occurs in script/filewatch.lua:18:

if res :string():gsub('^%w+:', string.lower)
~= path:string():gsub('^%w+:', string.lower) then
return false
end

Here, it turns out that res contains the actual path to the file (C:\dev\dotfiles\nvim\init.lua), and path contains the path with the junction (C:\Users\RobotComp.ru\AppData\Local\nvim\init.lua).

Commenting out these lines makes everything work correctly (see fixed.log). However, I didn't make a PR with such changes because I didn't fully understand why this path comparison was needed at all. It seems like it fixes some other bug?

Thanks in advance :)
