--- Comment #7 from Michael Barker <mike...@gmail.com> ---
The reason to change the delete task is that that unit test would get stuck in
a loop when I added the cases where there was a file system loop.  There are a
couple of options that I could take with the delete task:

1) Use the same loop detection as in the Directory scanner an not follow links
that create a file system loop.

2) Change the delete task to take a parameter of something like followSymLinks
(defaulted to true) so that existing behaviour remains the default and the new
behaviour is optional.

My preference is for #1 as it requires less input from a user to prevent it
from breaking.  I'll have a look at code some of this up this weekend.
