My knee-jerk reaction is:

 * The --no-index mode should default to your --follow-symlinks
   behaviour, without any option to turn it on or off.

 * If normal "diff" that follows symlinks by default has an option
   to disable it, then it is OK to also add --no-follow-symlinks
   that is only valid in the --no-index mode, so that we can mimick
   it better (I do not think this is the case, though).

 * Other modes should not follow symbolic links ever, no need for a
   new option.

In any case, I'd advise you not to reroll this too quickly and
frequently until the end of this cycle.  During a feature freeze, I
won't take new topics in 'pu' as that would add more things I need
to worry about, and if you reroll in too quick succession, it will
become harder to identify the latest set and queue after the
release.

Thanks.
