--- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
