Shadow source tree.

[Murdo Mckissock]

Thanks.  The documentation does not mention symbolic links,
so I was unsure whether this was a bug or a feature!

There is an argument for following symbolic links, and treating
the link target as the true file, but my preference is for this to be
a selectable option, especially with tools which open files for
reading only.  I like tools by default to treat symbolic links in the
same way as hard links and files, or behave as if they had done so.

Best regards,

Murdo
