_______________________________________________________
Details:
Please find attached a patch which adds a flag --no-recurse-symlinks to GNU
grep 2.5.1, for use with the --recurse option.
This patch allows the option to ignore symlinks encountered in the course of
recursion, although any symlinks explicitly listed on the command-line are
still followed.
The reason for this patch is that although there is already a trap to avoid
symlink loops, there are situations where following symlinks on recursion can
still be unwanted -- e.g. the same file or directory gets searched multiple
times, or a link points to a directory outside of the tree being recursed.
