Bug #3569: Recursively removing existing directories follows symlinks instead 
of removing the symlink
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/3569

Author: Ian Burrell
Status: Unreviewed
Priority: High
Assigned to: 
Category: 
Target version: 
Affected version: 0.24.7
Keywords: 
Branch: 


I added force to a rule to create a symlink. One machine had a directory 
instead which contained a symlink.  The recursive backup followed the symlink 
and deleted all of the files in the directory pointed to by the symlink.  Which 
caused the web site to go down as all the source was removed.

The expected behavior would be to delete the symlink the directory that was 
being removed.

This happened with Puppet 0.24.7 but I checked the source and it looks like it 
has the same bug.
