As opposed to modifying your repository to avoid the symlinks, have you tried setting up a list of directories to ignore? (this of course will only work if the links are using names that would be different from original paths) It also requires that you know which directories are links, but you know that already considering you are making repository modifications. For instance, the following paths would be ignored: -i nova/lib/extra -i do/not/index/this

I could not find anything in the usage that refers to symlink other than the option to allow specific symlinks, which made me think that by default they would not be followed, but it seems they are followed. Any other suggestions?
