This would break this infinite loop stuff (otherwise it breaks only when the path length exceed the maximum allowed).That doesn't help much IMO. The copy (the fake symlink) is not complete, so it's still a failure.I think it would be useful however. If you do : mkdir gnats; cd gnats; ln -s ../* .; cd ..; zip -r gnats.zip gnats then the gnats.zip compressed archive would be the same if pseudo-symlinks are created in the way which I propose as if real symlinks were created. Therefore, if you keep pseud-symlinks as they are, the outcome is farther away from what you get with real symlink than which the fix which I propose.
I'm not able to confirm. When ran the commands on Linux, I ended up with a ZIP archive with lots of nested gnats directories. If we were to break recursions on MSYS2 as you propose, the archive would have just 1 level of nesting. -- David Macek
