Hi !

I want to create a tarball of a very big directory (Say 2GB) but I don't want 
to add any "symlinked-to" file to it and not even symlinks.

Although I may want to add the presence of the symlink in the tarball but I 
never want to add the files which are symlinked.

Whenever I try to make the tarball It adds the symlinked-to files to itself 
and makes itself unnecessarily big.

I have tried many options but couldn't make it done. Please help me if anyone 
knows any handy solutions.
