Probably its an acceptable solution, you can find info on some websites
describing this techinque as a possible solution (without any actual
implementation though). If you can come up with a complete tested patch
that integrate this to FileFindIter class and ShareManager::buildTree,
that'd possibly be accepted.

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 :(
