Update of bug #17623 (project grep):
Severity: 3 - Normal => 2 - Minor
Summary: grep -R should NOT follow symlinks => add option to
grep -R to NOT follow symlinks to directory
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #4:
What about --[no-]dereference-symlink-to-dir (can be shortened to
--[no-]dereference since there's no ambiguous option)? cp's -H could become
--dereference-symlink-to-dir=cmdline (using an optional argument).
-S can be used as a short option.
Karl's proposal to have --directories=recurse-no-symlink is a bit ugly
because there is no quick way to specify it as a short option.
