------------------------------------------
Summary: Improve semantics of followSymlinks
Key: MSHARED-350
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSHARED-350
Project: Maven Shared Components
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Kristian Rosenvold
The behaviour of "followSymlinks" is not good. When the value is "true", it
does what you expect it to, namely traverse (resolve) symlinks and include the
stuff that is pointed to.
The value of "false" should include the unresolved symlink file in the result,
but not traverse into any directories pointed to by the symlink. As for file
symlinks, setting "followLinks" to false should include the symlinked file.
This mode is a slight change of semantics for the value of "false", which
currently has a slightly odd behaviour. Using false will for the future always
include the unresolved symlink in the result. A future option to "ignore"
symlinks may be considered if needed.
