hmm, ok, perhaps not 100% transparent, always done what i expected
before though...guess the library i used at the time did something for
me I didn't know about.

So Im guessing then it just needs code adding to handle them in
whichever bit of code makes the "list" of files to hash/index?

I could grab the current source and take a look at changing it if I know
where to look (perhaps a "MakeFileList" in "windows/filesystem.cpp", not
sure its that easy but you get the idea :) ) and submit the a patch, or
at the very least get my copy to do what I want :)

Bug description:
I want to share a directory which contains a number of files linked to via symbolic links (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365680%28VS.85%29.aspx). However the index/hashing thing seems to fail, skip, or otherwise just not work on large numbers of the files. The files physical locations the links target are spread across a number of physical locations (including some shared network locations) and also includes some personal files in the same directory (hence sym linking the files I want and not sharing the directory) that I do not wish to share.

Is there anything I can do about this? Symbolic links are supposed to be a file system feature and transparent so I don't really see why this is failing to work :(
