--------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
Assignee: Kristian Rosenvold
Testcase in r1627932 proves current impl to be good enough. Sorry about the
noise
> 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
> Assignee: 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.
