On start, unicorn, sidekiq and other parts running ruby code emits
quite a few warnings similar to
/var/gitlab/state/config/application.rb:202: warning: already initialized constant Gitlab::Application::LOOSE_EE_APP_ASSETS
/nix/store/ysb0lgbzxp7a9y4yl8d4f9wrrzy9kafc-gitlab-ee-12.3.5/share/gitlab/config/application.rb:202: warning: previous definition of LOOSE_EE_APP_ASSETS was here
/var/gitlab/state/lib/gitlab.rb:38: warning: already initialized constant Gitlab::COM_URL
/nix/store/ysb0lgbzxp7a9y4yl8d4f9wrrzy9kafc-gitlab-ee-12.3.5/share/gitlab/lib/gitlab.rb:38: warning: previous definition of COM_URL was here
This seems to be caused by the same ruby files being evaluated
multiple times due to the paths being different - sometimes they're
loaded using the direct path and sometimes through a symlink, due to
our split between config and package data. To fix this, we make sure
that the offending files in the state directory always reference the
store path, regardless of that being the real file or a symlink.
