cmd: remove symlink evaulation during root discovery

Fixes #481
Fixes #422
Update #157
Update #308

Following symlinks was added in 7597be7. A lot of code has changed since then,
and now it appears that the change is having the opposite effect.

Revert the change to cmd/import.go and add tests to assert that #157 and #481 work.
